A Man's Torment by Reese Turner
Stacked 5-7-5 writing prompt entry

Wife: “Let’s shop today!”
It's a trap! Best stay away!
She smiles sweet. "O.K."
 
First, lunch on the go.
Been there done that. Burgers? No!
Quiche with "nice" Merlot…
 
Where then? Wal-Mart bound?
Not with this wife, in this town!
Don’t ask. Make no sound…
 
To Jacques’ Fine Clothing
(At prices I am loathing)
On cards I’m holding.
 
Yet,words I most fear,
“Darling, long as we are here,
Something for you, dear?”
 
 


Writing Prompt
Write a poem that has multiple stanzas. Each stanza is 5-7-5.

Author Notes
I have paid my dues
On all credit cards I use
I get by - with booze!
