Wasn't

And now, here’s our optional prompt for the day! In his poem, “Poet, No Thanks,” Jean D’Amérique repeats the phrase “I wasn’t a poet” multiple times, while describing other things that he instead claims to have been. In your poem for today, use a simple phrase repeatedly, and then make statements that invert or contradict that phrase.

It wasn't going to last more than a day
to take much attention, to keep him away
from his pressing concerns, his usual
work. It was temporary, something casual.

She wasn't going to consume his whole life
A creature like that, could be his wife?
Now here he was, 40 years later
And still she was, his soul, his creator
