my wife has some lovely
Mother’s Day cards
from our sons
made at school
Father’s Day
comes after school is out
for the summer
I get store-bought cards
I think it’s great
that women and men walk
twenty miles a day
for three days
wearing pink
it’s not the cancer
that kills the most women
and where’s the three day
walk for prostate cancer?
this man is probably
too logical for you
but I write poems

This poem was written in response to the prompt at Poetic Asides to write an “on the other hand” poem.

I really enjoyed reading your poems. I particularly like your humour…subtle but present. Thank you for sharing them. I’m encouraged to share more of mine…and to try some of the prompted poems- haven’t done that before.
creativeintrospection, thanks for visiting. Glad you liked the poems. Humor does creep in quite a bit; even when I’m being serious, a bit of humor can sneak in.
If I waited for inspiration to strike, I’d write maybe a poem a month, so I use the prompts to help me go out and find inspiration.

…and I’m glad that you do! Write poems.

Thanks, Paula.

It appears that a certain teacher has been doing his cancer homework.
Mike, I’ve been known to thumb through an almanac and look at some statistics.
