Only a Second

My final daily create of the week really made me think. I chose to do the “If poets wrote parking tickets”. Poetry isn’t really my thing. Don’t get me wrong, i love to read it! I enjoy reading poetry. It’s the creating poetry i dislike. I can just never seem to find the rights words, you know? It kind of represents my life. Either way, i decided to do this poem and have some fun. I haven’t actually gotten a parking ticket before but my family members have so i basically know what it’s like. Usually every story starts with “i was only there for a second” so that’s what i titled my piece. I made it short and sweet so there would be less room for embarrassment. Enjoy

In a hurry, you leave it there
It’ll only be a second, no big deal
When you return, you see that badge
A boot already around your tire
Shit! It was only a second
But it took you 10 hours to pay for that 80$ ticket
