NaPoWriMo 2022 was a fun month of writing, so for May
I’m using the prompts from April 2021’s NaPoWriMo
to write poems.
Day 8
Our (optional) prompt for
the day is to write a poem in the form of a “to-do list.” The fun of this
prompt is to make it the “to-do list” of an unusual person or character. For
example, what’s on the Tooth Fairy’s to-do list? Or on the to-do list of Genghis
Khan? Of a housefly? Your list can be a mix of extremely boring things and wild
things. For example, maybe Santa Claus needs to order his elves to make 7
million animatronic Baby Yoda dolls, to have his hat dry-cleaned to get off all
the soot it picked up last December, and to get his head electrician to change
out the sparkplugs on Rudolph’s nose.
in the house of little
Miss Mouse,
there was a lot of
organising to do,
from the decorations
to the invites
to the cleaning
and the food,
the last chore being
the most exciting.
The biggest expense
was going to be
the cheese, lashings
and lashings of it.
triangle of Brie, one
Pecorino Romano,
a chunk of stinky-feet
Gorgonzola,
little biddy Derby,
rolling Camembert,
some lemony shavings
of Mozzarella,
cue the Danish blue,
bits of Parmesan,
a vibrant orange Double
Gloucester,
fresh squidge of Cottage
Cheese,
some crumbly Feta,
firm Ricotta,
gooey Goats Cheese,
sturdy Gouda,
a fancy Gruyere, and
a few jugs of
sweet red wine to wash
it all down.
