The Last Pig on Spillwords

Posted on 2021-09-06 by Bartholomew Barker

During the 2020 April Poem-a-Day Challenge, I wrote The Last Pig in response to two prompts: “The Last blank” and “Piggy”. I never expected it to be one of the most viewed poems on my site for the past year! So, I offered it to Spillwords and they posted it today. Check it out and, since I crave external validation, don’t hesitate to click the little red heart just about the title. You don’t even have to sign-up for an account there.
