H - How Do You Like Them Apples?
Wednesday's NaPoWriMo prompt fit well for today's H. Playing with it, I decided I liked the result better than the original H poem I had scheduled to post this morning!
"...write a variation of an acrostic poem. But rather than spelling out a word with the first letters of each line, I’d like you to write a poem that reproduces a phrase with the first words of each line."
It's a fun variation of the usual acrostic.
I must have been groggy when I first read the prompt, because I couldn't make any sense of it, until I read Jim's, then it was clear, I think... Thanks, Jim!
“How do you like them apples?” he asked.

Apples off the tree, gathered in her gingham apron.”
He started; brought back to the now, he
Asked, “How do you like them apples?”

Apples and peanut butter are a favourite of mine. Fun post.
ReplyDeleteStopping in from A to Z. I thought I would share the link to my letter A with you because I started off with Apples: https://brewingcoffeetwistingwordsbreakingpencils.ca/2022/04/01/apple/
Yes, I like to spread peanut butter in the center of a half apple!
DeleteThat's clever.
