DMC: "Office Horror Story" by Suzy Levinson

OFFICE HORROR STORY

"for I must be fed.
All documents welcome, 'cause I want to SHRED."

"No, thank you," I said,
creasing with dread.
"A contract like me would prefer to stay read."

"Why don't you eat that old phone book instead?"

"SHREDDY-SHRED-SHRED!"
That's when I slipped off the table and fled.

Calef Brown has challenged us to write a poem that tells the story of two anthropomorphized objects. They can be an odd couple, close friends, mortal enemies, or meet each other for the first time. The poem can be about an adventure they have together, a conflict, a game they play, anything. Click HERE for more details and to read this month's Spotlight ON interview.
