Death of an Appliance – Day One

Busted and destroyed,

Really could this have happened in

Only ten minutes?

Kilter has been thrown

Even though things aren’t completely gone.

News of the mixer’s demise will be met with grief.

I’ve taken part in different prompts and challenges, but the only month-long challenge I’ve ever taken part in is NaNoWriMo which is in November. I don’t know if I will write a poem for every day of April, but after my mixer broke (in the middle of kneading the bread dough!) I decided that I was going to post a poem about it to help me feel a little better (and it does, a little.)
