Sometimes a joke is just a joke; but sometimes, it’s everything beneath it: truth, pain, power, or deflection. For this prompt, explore the layered meaning of a joke. One told, overheard, or remembered.
Bonus challenge: Write the entire piece without directly stating whether the joke was funny or not. Let the reader decide based on how it made you (or the subject) feel.
Let humor meet honesty. Let the poem crack a smile and reveal something raw just beneath the surface.
