The prompt for today's poem on the NaPoWriMo Facebook page challenged us to write a poem that questions something near and dear.
Why can't we all get along
instead of creating conflict
and divisions like weak and strong
poor and rich, smart and dumb.
Left or right, straight or narrow
will matter not one bit
when things go to Hades in a wheel barrow.
By Alexandra Heep: Author. Humorist. Occasional cat translator. Currently publishing children’s books and writing like it’s 1989—only with fewer mix tapes.
About Alexandra Heep:
Alexandra Heep is a longtime writer, chronic over-thinker, and recovering content mill survivor. Her work has appeared in literary journals, anthologies, and online platforms where words are still respected. She writes children’s books, health reflections, and the occasional blog post laced with humor and hard-won honesty.
After years of illness, detours, and navigating the noise of modern wellness, she returned to writing with the firm belief that stories—like people—don’t have to be perfect to matter.
She publishes under multiple pen names and drinks more goat milk than you’d expect.
