Prove It!

This writing exercise says, "Write as Waldman suggests."  Now, I don't remember what that means any more.  But the next four poems are what I produced.
Poem #1 from the Waldman Exercise:

Prove It!

He ripped it.                                         

Go to bed.                  

                                   It was a terrible sight.

Throw down your clothes.          

Hot shot plus.

                                             Summer days.

Get better.              Sit by me.

Read me a story.

You're the accusation.                            

                                   Don't give up the screen.

I put my name on - Sharp.      

               All that, and I get paid too.
