This is definitely the best compliment my poems have received ever. If my writing makes people feel good about enjoying a chocolate sunday bunny, then I’ve done my job. Thank you.

Megan Falley - “Alibi” (WoWPS 2014)

"Why isn’t there a disease where you do something useful in your sleep? Maybe file my taxes? Caulk the bathtub? Fix this unibrow?"

Performing at the 2014 Women of the World Poetry Slam.

In which I perform a poem where I tie testicles in balloon animals while wearing a very sweet kitty dress, because that is my style.

Hey Boston! I’ll be performing poems today (so many new ones! A couple of old favorites!) at HARVARD today. 3PM so you can still boogie down on your Saturday night. Come hang out with me!

POETRY WRITING PROMPT #26 of 30

Make a list of 15 daily tasks/chores you have to do, i.e. take out the trash, walk the dog, make the bed. 

Make a list of 15 more things you need to do that are like chores, but more sporadic: get an oil change, plant tulip bulbs, polish the silverware.

In today’s poem, I want you to assume that everything we do in this world is motivated by love. Consider my favorite quote from Mad Men:

"Lovely Megan, I went to buy a light bulb. When I get back, I’ll see you better."

Like the above, write a poem where all the daily tasks and annoying things you might have to do are done for love. Hold a lightbulb to it. See it better.
