The State of My Poem

As you may know, I challenged people with a poetry assignment last week. My phenomena/elements that I think about a lot are: night, car accidents, and Iowa.

I’m having such a hard time starting this poem. Part of the problem is that I wrote a car accident/night poem LAST week before I even knew about this particular assigment. That leaves me with Iowa. What can a girl do with that? Well, I know the answer is a lot so I’ll have to buck up and figure it out before tomorrow’s deadline.

Last night, I had a dream that my cat started living in the toilet. She slept underwater, and I was quite annoyed with her for this lifestyle choice.
