DMC: "The AfterMATH" by Teresa Robeson




The AfterMATH

You might think my love is
derivative
and
ridiculous,
though here’s what is integral:
it’s not calcu-you
or calcu-me
but calcul-US.

Marcus Ewert has challenged us to write love poems this month– about relationships that seem unrequited, but which end up being requited after all. Click HERE for more details.

Send your poem to TodaysLittleDitty (at) gmail (dot) com, or use the contact form in the sidebar to the right. All contributions will be included in a wrap-up celebration on Friday, October 30th, and one lucky participant will win an autographed copy of his fabulous new picture book:

      If you do come up with an illo, Teresa, be sure to pass it along! I'll add it to the post and include it in the wrap-up.

      Michelle, I'll see if I can think of something to draw for it. :)
