Oil meet water
Water meet oil
The being smiled
Beaming rays of hope
At the budding friendship
It had invoked
Water looked at oil
Oil looked at water
And both decided
Nah
I’m be over here
And oil floated to the top
That’s cool I will stay here
And water drifted to the bottom.
There they stayed
No matter how many times they were introduced
No matter who did the introduction
Oil always collected itself and
floated to the top.
While water in utter annoyance
Huffed its way to the bottom.
Forever separate.

Did you laugh while reading this poem? I know I did while writing it. It was so much fun to create and was the first thing to pop into my head when reading the prompt from NaPoWriMo.net for day eight:
write a poem that centers around an encounter or relationship between two people (or things) that shouldn’t really have ever met – whether due to time, space, age, the differences in their nature, or for any other reason.
How is your 30 day poetry challenge going? Don't worry if you have gotten behind or have become stuck for inspiration. Just take your time and write whatever comes to mind.
