april 3 . partly underground

the basement apartment
we both wanted to live in
swelled and loosened
with the incoming flood.
i had no other choice
but to run.

I would like to register my protest against today's poetry prompt; a poem title "partly_____" is unimaginative, and I think predisposes itself to bad poetry.  So I cannot be held responsible.


Go here for a poem that tickled my fancy today: http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Want-To-Share-Erotic-Poetry/453824
