Today’s prompt comes from Stacey Joy, who shared Nikki Giovanni’s style of using ONE word in two parts of speech to follow a format unique to Giovanni. I chose the word Voracious.
Voraciously
voraciously
you binge watch
two seasons
of Virgin River
voracious
you come to the end of season two
and need answers now.
not in November 2021 – NOW!
voraciously
you seek answers –
is there a book?
yes, there is a book.
THANK GOD, there is a book!
voracious
you do your husband a favor
and do his
Christmas shopping
ordering all 21 books
in the series
for him to wrap
and put under the tree
from him to you
voraciously
he wraps them individually
in newsprint
a letter on each present
spelling
A VIRGIN RIVER CHRISTMAS
arranged beautifully
voracious
you love and hate
his creative gift wrapping
now you have to
peek to find the right
one to borrow
from under the tree
and secretly mark
the next few in order
voraciously
voraciously
voraciously
you read-iscover
the gift of reading
….even though by book 10
you still don’t know
who pulled that damn trigger….
