OctPoWriMo Poem 2/31: Seventy Five Minutes on Tuesday

Alert readers: This is a poem written in character. I took the prompt I wrote for OctPoWriMo today very seriously.

First, I brainstormed some questions on a sheet of paper. 

Then I tore them the questions up...

 

up and drew this one:

 

So there you have it. My OctPoWriMo day two assignment from myself is to write a character poem about someone you don't like written in the voice of an adoring fan.

I kind of stuck with my own suggestion but wow, it was harder than you would think.

So - here goes nothing.

Seventy Five Minutes on Tuesday

The way he micromanages takes the worry off my fragile shoulders.

His use of ethnic accents and voices of handicapped people is charming.

I don’t know why some people find it offensive...

He is generous and compliments me profusely each time we meet.

I don’t know why that one woman with the red hair told me to watch out,

“A wolf in sheep’s clothing is he.”

She just doesn’t understand the complexity he wears behind his classes

The inner creative spirit that roams through his book he needs to feed

and constantly, I mean constantly needs absolutely regular musing.

I am glad, grateful, thrilled he sought me out

To be Tuesday’s Muse.

I am the only Tuesday’s Muse.

This is something, isn’t it?

All day Tuesday, or all night Tuesday or Tuesday

From 6:30 to 7:45 he gives full attention

And affection to me and only me.

75 minutes are mine.

Of how many minutes a week?

My shoulders droop.

Not enough.

Never enough.

Not for the weak woman that is me.

I really like the concept behind this poem and you executed it beautifully.

Wow, that was powerful! I could even see the struggle you must have had yet still were able to portray the essence of him that was distasteful. And the adoration of the woman. I have been here, looking on wondering, what in the world why can't she see? One thing that I discovered, when it bothers me a lot, is there is something in me that I need to see. Brava Julie, Brava for daring to dive into this piece! Makes me want to create another for today. You are stirring my imagination, I love it!

I didn't see it going this way. Congratulations - I think you captured the essence of your prompt. I can imagine that it was hard to make him a scumbucket but for the opinion of one adoring person.

[Julie Jordan Scott]

Thank you all. It was a challenge to write. I have been especially decent to the person in question lately. I'm trying to be open and graceful to everyone lately... perhaps it is some of the anesthesia left from my surgery! LOL

I like the way the questions draws me in and then out, you have a way of developing a character
