COMPETITION PROMPT
Write a poem in ‘revorto’ form.
A reverto poem uses couplets that alternate between one highly poetic and one very unpoetic line. The form is meant to jar the reader from a sense of poetic beauty to something other.
The modern “prince charming”
Drip drip came words like honey
or did she say something funny?
His ears soaked up her words like honeycomb.
Wait, hang on, he’s just checking his damn phone.
She longs for a once upon a time romance.
There he goes fidgeting with his pants.
She winces as her glass slipper falls and shatters.
Stupid girl. Love’s not served on a silver platter.
