Poetry Prompts Day 8 - OctPoWriMo 2016

You may think that the word for today is a strange word for a poetry prompt, but, there are places you can go with this, dance with this, that just might surprise you. Your poem doesn't have to have the actual word in it, it is about where the word takes you.

Thank you for all of your well wishes, I'm feeling much better today. I think I'm finally getting over this gunk, whatever it was.

  7. Concrete, a solid yet porous offering for day 8 (concrete being solid, maybe no so much the poem) :)
