"For today’s prompt, write a memory poem. Dive into your own personal memories. Or use them as a springboard into an imagined memory. Or combine this memory prompt with the persona prompt from a few weeks ago."


It was a day of rainy weather
or so we thought, 'til sun shone through.
I had just folded by umbrella
when suddenly, the sky broke blue.

Do not look at forecast,
look out your window.
Wrong so often–
those weather people.

I tried to estimate percentage–
the ratio of rain to sun,
and have concluded to my chagrin
it was a day of rainy weather.

(mixture of persona poem and memory)
