Written for: Poetics Aside PAD November 2020 Challenge - Day 15 "For today’s prompt, take the phrase "Meaning of (blank)," replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Possible titles could include: "Meaning of Life," "Meaning of Love," "Meaning of This," and/or even "Meaning of Socks Constantly Losing Their Pairs."

Tears at your heart Rips you in two https://www.writersdigest.com/write-better-poetry/2020-november-pad-chapbook-challenge-day-15
