November Poem-a-Day Challenge.
Day 1 Prompt: Write something about matches.
Oh my. Here goes:
Then there was the one about the witch
who walked into a bar
in search of a match.
I don’t recall the punchline, though
I know she’d lost her broom,
and snow was in her hair.
Perhaps she’d lost her wand as well,
forgotten the Latin words
for ignite, combust, enkindle.
I heard she called a taxi
before she wandered out into the wind,
leaving behind her the scent of sulfur and jasmine.
