Day 2 is Vulnerable. Prompt words are: Vulnerability, Exposed, Open
Suggested Form: Haiku , Lannet
I will try a Lannet. “The Lannet consists of 14 lines – presentation of such piece is to the poet’s preference. There is a strict syllable count of 10 per line. The Lannet has NO END-LINE RHYMING SCHEME. Only internal rhyme is allowed. There is no stipulance of Iambic form, pentameter or tetrameter for a Lannet. The Lannet form was created by Laura Lamarca.”
Endangered
Mister President is sick with COVID
Markets panicked, he was exposed
Right wing white supremacists are ready
Will he get well? Will he order them to fight
My BIPOC* friends are always in danger
I will help to defend and shelter them
I continue to speak out for BIPOC* –
Lives in danger because they are not white
The President is an open racist
He despises skin with color, loves white
Our democracy is vulnerable
Vote him out, let us win decisivly
