April is poetry month. To help inspire others to write a poem, I've decided to play a game with everyone on my blog. What I'm going to do each week is present a few rhyming words and a choice of themes. Your job is to craft the words into a poem.
For example, I offer the words 'Sing & Bring' and give you a topic of 'Books'. You would then write a short poem using those words, in that order, with each line ending in each word.
Example:
Reading makes me want to sing,
Song books to me you must bring.
If you want to break up each line so it looks better, I won't object.
Reading make me
want to sing.
Song books to me
you must bring.
Remember: All words provided must be used and in the same order.
This weeks challenge:

I slithered onto stage
ReplyDeleteRife with fear and rage
And from their stares I sensed
The boa wrap and press against
The armour under my sweater -
Rattlers for this trick would've been better.
On the New York City stage
ReplyDeleteHer line was to be spoke in rage.
Deep within her heart she sensed
the hostility she was so much against.
Slowly zipping open like a cardigan sweater
conflicting emotions, acted none better.
