Donnetta Norris is a 2nd grade teacher in Arlington, TX, and is our host today for the 28th day of Verse Love 2025. She inspires us to write cause and effect relationship poems. You can read her full prompt here. She encourages us to write a poem that depicts or expresses how good can come from what is seemingly bad.
Turning the Tables on a Narcissist
sometimes you don’t realize it right then
a certain someone cuts you off
because you wrinkle their plan
you begin to question
the reasons for their
bad choice, then just
like that you’re
cut off ~
thank
God!
you were
dealing with
a narcissist
but hadn’t figured
it out until you were
next on the flying monkey
list but you knew right from wrong and
turned the cutoff into your own choice
you escaped! (as always, they play victim)
