Here We Go……from the NAPoWriMo site:
“And now for our daily (and totally optional) prompt. Today, we’d like to challenge you to write – without consulting the book – a poem that recounts the plot, or some portion of the plot, of a novel that you remember having liked but that you haven’t read in a long time.”
(A reminder from Joan - there are resources given daily on https://www.napowrimo.net/ - featured poets and then the prompt that I copy and paste. Enjoy and take up thine pen, even for a short haiku or three thought lines. We are to indulge, enjoy and commune in this lovely month of poetry! 💃)
(not quite a "novel" :) but this is my #1 response)
The Little Red Hen
there once was a Little Red Hen
who lived outside her pen
the makings were there
the jobs she would share
but alas, no one would lend…
a helping hand for the bread baker she asked
Little Red Hen wanted help with her task
her friends say “no way,
we want to play”
so she baked and multitasked.
the plot thickens as tensions increase
with her friends expecting a piece
of delicious warm bread
“no way,” she said
and nary a crumb did she leave.
so the moral for our tale is this
unless you take a few risks
and work for the stakes
don’t expect to partake
in the final realm of bliss.
