The Prompt: Cause, Meet Effect—You can singlehandedly create a causal relation between two things that are currently unconnected — a word and an emotion, a song and an extreme weather event, wearing a certain color and winning the lottery. What cause would you link to
what effect, and why?
When she wears it, worlds collide.
Men collect on either side.
Women seek her company.
Children seek to grace her knee.
Potentates, senators, kings
bring her necklaces and rings.
Scholars write her name in books.
Jealous women exchange looks.
There is hardly anything
that nature does not seek to bring.
Winds blow harder, streams divert
when she wears that saffron skirt.
The very heavens note where she went.
Tsunamis curl, volcanoes vent.
Soldiers line up to parade.
Mimes begin their mute charade.
Actors emote better to
this goddess in her sunny hue.
Mourning doves just bill and coo.
Old boyfriends seek her out anew.
Yet as she stands before her glass,
surveying both her front and ass,
her mate says, “Are you wearing that?”
and she surmises she looks too fat.
As she changes into basic black,
the lava cools, the seas hold back.
Her suitors cease their clamoring press.
She does not wear the yellow dress.

Ha!! I always love your rhymed comments, Ann. Would that I could be so succinct. I just blah blah blah. Prolongs the fun for me, I guess. Fun starting the day with silly. Seems as though you agree! Judy

Well, there’s a certain amount of blah blah blah even in greatness. Just look at the senate or houses of parliament or whatever….oxoxo

Pretty awesome…. I’m thinking I might have to go buy a yellow dress and cause some worlds to collide. Is that cause and effect, or cause and affectation? Loved the poem.
