Today's prompt: Take the phrase "The problem with (blank)" and replace the "(blank)" with a word or phrase. Make this the title of your poem and then write a poem to fit with or juxtapose against that title. For instance, you could have poems with the titles of "The problem with government," "The problem with advanced mathematics," or "The problem with bipolar penguins." You know the drill: have fun, be creative.
The Problem with Dishes
The problem with dishes -
My family wishes
That they would be magically clean.
But after we eat,
That thrice daily feat
Leaves a mess that shouldn’t be seen.
