Day 17 ... NaPoWriMo / Poem-a-Day 2019

Maureen Thorson’s NaPoWriMo prompt: “Today, I’d like you to challenge you to write a poem that . . . presents a scene from an unusual point of view. Perhaps you could write a poem that presents Sir Isaac Newton’s discovery from the perspective of the apple. Or the shootout at the OK Corral from the viewpoint of a passing vulture. Or maybe it could be something as everyday as a rainstorm, as experienced by a raindrop.” Robert Lee Brewer’s Poem-a-Day prompt: “For today’s prompt, write a reason poem. If this prompt seems unreasonable, just remember all the reasons you write poetry or enjoy cooking, dancing, singing, etc. Or provide a reasoned argument for your lack of reason. Only you know your reasons.” Melding both prompts in a tanka, taking on Maureen's first example. What the Apple Said Oh no, I'm falling on Sir Isaac Newton's head! Reason? Gravity.
