I attempted to follow the NaPoWriMo prompt today to write a small section of a long, narrative poem in which I use rhymes and unlikely dramatic scenes. I tried to channel the feel of a drama opera. My poem gives a glimpse of a story between a female cyclops and a male human who somehow fell in love and must navigate the hardships of such a relationship.
Drowning in Love
By Candace Shultz
He looked lovingly into her hazel eye
As he sat atop her bulging chest,
And when she let out a heartfelt sigh
His tiny body fell off her breast.
She sat up suddenly, her large body looming
Over his tiny form sprawled on the ground.
To his human ears, her voice was booming
As she bawled that death had come around.
He tried to shout so she could hear,
But he couldn't quite catch his breath.
So he watched with dread as her tears
Fell forth, forming a wave of impending death.
