New Prompt: We are playing with the Pregunta today. Questions and answers.

Topic: the Weather.

Make sure your poem is not longer than 40 lines.



Information can be found here: "Pregunta"

The Pregunta

There is not much to be found on the Internet about this form. It is used in English, but has a Spanish name, as pregunta means question.
Ferrán Sánches Talavera's pregunta is a famous example of a poetic debate in this form. I also saw this form on Jan Haag’s page; questions followed by a witty but often wise answer.

Simply stated:

The Pregunta is written in couplets, containing a question and an answer. You can make it as long as you like, as a debate never stops after one question and answer.


My try…

Age discrimination…

Am I not good enough for the job?
Oh no, you have experience plenty.

Am I not polite enough, maybe?
I have never met a person as polite as you are.

Am I making too many mistakes perhaps?
You are the most accurate person I know.

Then why did they not hire me?
Simple. With thirty-eight, you are too old!
