Today's prompt: Write a poem where every line but one is a lie. Make up amazing falsehoods, then offer one thing that actually happened. Be creative but without obvious lies. Include specific details in your lies so they seem realistic or at least possible. #WFLFNOVPAD

2 NOV 2021 #WFLFNOVPAD Compare your happiness to a bomb or something else dangerous. Think about images of the atomic bomb or a nuclear missile or something like a tidal wave, tsunami, or tornado; imagine your happiness with similar qualities in a poem.
