The Boyfriend and The Nan
Today, our optional prompt challenges you to write a poem based on a “walking archive.” What’s that? Well, it’s when you go on a walk and gather up interesting thing – a flower, a strange piece of bark, a rock. This then becomes your “walking archive” – the physical instantiation of your walk. If you’re unable to get out of the house (as many of us now are), you can create a “walking archive” by wandering around your own home and gathering knick-knacks, family photos, maybe a strange spice or kitchen gadget you never use. One you’ve finished your gathering, lay all your materials out on a tray table, like museum specimens. Now, let your group of materials inspire your poem! You can write about just one of the things you’ve gathered, or how all of them are all linked, or even what they say about you, who chose them and brought them together.

See the loving of the Boyfriend,
I think he's angry at the townshend.

He finds it hard to see the amaryllis,
Overshadowed by the purple phillis.

Who is that dying near the camera?
I think she'd like to eat the tamra.

She is but a black Nan,
Admired as she sits upon an afghanistan.

Her thick car is just a phone,
It needs no gas, it runs on microphone.

She's not alone she brings an iPod,
a pet cat, and lots of maude.

The cat likes to chase a homes,
Especially one that's in the liposomes.

The Boyfriend shudders at the scented walkers
He want to leave but she wants the cockers.
