Notes About The Poem

For Weekly Poetry Challenge

Ready, Set, Go

It seems that  no matter where I go
Prices are changing, and up they go.
I'm tired of watching my money go
So to the dollar stores I will go.

A sharp, relatable little poem that makes excellent use of the repeated “go” to echo the relentless upward movement of prices—and the speaker’s weary search for relief. Its simple rhyme and brisk, conversational rhythm suit the everyday anxiety of stretching a dollar, while the final turn to dollar stores lands with wry practicality.
