Today's word is
Another great thing about this exercise is that it's entirely voluntary. No one will hector you into doing it, except maybe yourself.
I shall be beating myself over the head with a baseball bat until I come up with a poem using this word. Oh, wait, that might prove counter-productive, mightn't it?
Never mind.
*****
Friday, 1:33 p.m.
Scream until your face turns red.
Hector 'til your voice hoarsens.
It will change not one thing.
Wheedle, charm, beg.
Sing a siren song.
It will change not one thing.
Try lust, try smiles, try generosity.
Try anger and explosive demonstrations of emotion.
Try being something you're not.
It will change not one thing.
But if you are lucky,
you will be able
to make peace with the fear.
