POEM STARTER

Write a poem about pet peeves.

Little things that annoy you – perhaps they are stand-ins for bigger problems, perhaps they are nothing more.

Penmanship

Poetry

Futile scratching mid sentence

telltale blot of ink

Bleeding from a pocket

Bottom of the purse hell scape

Click

Damn it

Icky slick plastic

Gnawed pen caps

Teeth marred barrels

A wayward spring, cap, thrust

Handful of broken bits and bobs

Instead of ideas inked in long languid linking loops of letters

‘Bottom of the purse hell scape’ 😂😂

some of these descriptors could have been hyphenated for better effect, so you know each word is part of the description and not a stand alone, would make it easier to read. But still fun without 😁
