Ode to a Tampon

A/N: I wrote this for my poetry class last year, and there is a small amount of back story to it. During class one day, the Prof. asked the class to think of an inanimate object and write down what it does. For whatever reason, my mind completely went blank. Just as the Prof. was about call \"time\'s up,\" my mind shouted out \"tampon!\"

Only afterward that everyone had an object, were we told that we now had to write a poem about it. However, I am really kinda proud of this poem.

Ode to a Tampon

Entering
Sliding
Settling in
Nestled quaintly

Expanding
Enlarging itself
Like a stew,
Thickening with time

Like a season,
It must change
With the ebbing and flowing
of time.

Only to be reborn
like the fiery phoenix
As the process begins
once more.
