Suddenly, we’re two-thirds of the way through this month and challenge. For those of us still poeming, let’s rock these final 10 days!
For today’s prompt, write a “what I learned” poem. Funny thing about being human is that we’re constantly learning, whether the lessons are being taught in school, on the streets, or even in grocery store checkout lanes. This poem should focus on something learned, regardless of the arena.

Here’s my attempt at a What I Learned Poem:
“lesson”
two people with joy
can fill one person
with a deep sorrow
she will cry until
she has no more tears
or her own joyful
person to be with
