A Mad-Lib Poem Challenge (Every Poet Is Welcomed To Play!)
Note: Greatly inspired by this innovative style of poetry created by fellow poetry.com member Paul Kurland, I am creating my own mad-lib poem. A mad-lib poem is a style of poetry is which one or more words are added to each line in an unfinished poem.
This is the original:
I love you for your ________
You love me for my ________
You cry and I feel ________
I cry and you fall ________
We have been together for ________
I love you so very much ________
What I want to tell you ________
Is sweetheart, let's get ________
Here is my mad-lib version:
I love you for your brain
You love me for my heart
You cry and I feel pain
I cry and you fall apart
We have been together for years
I love you so very much Gerry
What I want to tell you dear
Is sweetheart, let's get married!
To those who want to participate, leave your mad-lib version of the original in the reviews section. I would love to read it! Good luck!!!
