I’m in a minimalist mood!—so I wrote a short dramatic lyric titled It Wasn’t My Idea.

  1. Readers attribute meanings.

    Recently, there was a disaster in an illegally-operating nightclub in Goa (India). They were using fire display in a dance act without safety measures and short-circuiting killed 25. The owners have been nabbed in Thailand.

    Somehow, your poem reminded me of the owners.

    1. Reena, I’m so sorry—what an awful tragedy. Yet this is precisely what I hoped my poem might achieve: that the reader completes the story. Thank you for your inspirational prompt; I truly appreciate your comment. 🙏

  2. A short and very evocative poem. With just a few words, it conveys surprise and helplessness in the face of something that has happened without having been chosen. It leaves a silent echo that invites reflection.

    Hugs.
