For today’s prompt, write a defensive poem.
I protest innocence
I wasn’t even there
I was somewhere else
In a woman’s arms
Loving and being loved
I couldn’t have done it
It’s not my style.
I dispute the video evidence
I wasn’t even there
It must be a set up
I’m a good man
People say I have an honest face
I could sell used cars
You have to believe me.
The witness is obviously wrong
I wasn’t even there
It was a wet day, the video shows sunshine
The victim was left-handed
I love left-handed people
This is such a miscarriage
I am left hanging my head.

Very convincing M.
Haha. Very ‘defensive poem’ all the excuses you could up with in self-defense. Well written Michael.
