Last but not least, here’s our prompt for the day (optional, as always). Start by taking a look at these three short poems by Bill Knott.
Now, try writing a short poem (or a few, if you’re inspired) that follows the beats of a classic joke. Emphasize the interplay between the form of the poem – such as the line breaks – and the punchline.
a priest
a rabbi and
an imam
walk into a bar…
there’s no
punchline
here
it’s actually
just a preview of
heaven
on
earth
until their followers
all kill each other
because
The
Books
…apparently…
told them they should.
