Prompt: Fortune cookie fortunes in
Frank O'Hara's style.
April 21/13
Fortune Cookies
Anxiety makes your head hurt, stop
worrying.
Fear only makes you crazy.
Embrace your destiny.
Your fortune is changing for the
better, go with it.
Learn to relax and take things less
seriously.
Laughter is the best medicine.
Good friends are a tonic.
Follow your dreams and all will be
well.
Let a smile be your umbrella, unless
you're feeling sad, then cry.
I like how even if you take away all of the fortune cookie references, this is still a coherent poem with a nice flow.
ReplyDeleteThanks, that's what I was trying for.
DeleteI like it! They're all individual, but there's a common theme to them. i actually had a fortunate cookie today and it said: "Everyone agrees that you are the best." A bit narcissistic, no? Haha.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I love that fortune!
DeleteAs you often do, the last line always has a punch that makes me sign... in a good way.
ReplyDeleteThanks Janet.
