Baby Cat

-


Here's a little poem about Baby Cat, based on a prompt word "peek."


Who’s that peeking

from her lair,

golden eyes

all a’glare?

 

With little white mittens

on her feet,

peering through the rails,

oh, so sweet?

 

It’s my darlin’

Southern Belle*,

lost and found,

now here to dwell.

    Hello, Lisa. I love what you did here.
    Unlike many of the sites that now offer challenges, ie personal blogs that have digressed. Weekly Prompts was created not as a personal blog, but solely to offer prompts and challenges.

    GC and I chose not to use our own blog sites for the challenges. Instead, we created Weekly Prompts as our joint challenge site in June 2018 when WordPress ceased the popular 'Daily Prompts'. We were keen to replicate the 'Daily Prompts' fuss free format by limiting the site to pingbacks, we assumed that comments would be made on the bloggers' sites and saw no need to include them on our challenge pages. I'm sorry you were unable to leave a pingback; it is unfortunate that pingbacks, an exclusive WordPress design, do not allow non-WordPress bloggers to use the format.

    If in the future you wish to take part in our challenges, you are more than welcome to leave your link on our comments page. Thank you for attempting to take part it's appreciated. ~ Sue 🙂

      Thank you for explaining. I think maybe you told me this a few years ago, and I forgot? If so, I'm sorry for forgetting!

A - Alphabet Haiku

-
It's April 1st, and time to start the 26 day alphabet countdown.  Every day, with Sundays off, I'll be posting a poem relating to that day's letter.  It may be a form (such as this one for A), a title, a subject, something to do with a prompt.  I fully admit, some will be better than others.  There is still time for you to join in.  www.a-to-zchallenge.com Here we go!  A - Alphabet Haiku  Alphabet haiku is an invented form created by Beatrice Evans.   Invented forms are new poetic structures that do not necessarily follow traditional or established "rules."  Alphabet haiku follows the traditional haiku syllable count of 5/7/5.  The only change required is each word begins with the same letter.   Wet windblown wastelands. Weary white winter weather. Wake, wonderous warmth! ©2024 Lisa Smith Nelson. All Rights Reserved  F will be another A poetry form, the American Sentence.

Taco-Mania

 For the inaugural Friday Writings at Poets and Storytellers United (no more Writer's Pantry or Weekly Scribblings, they've been melded into one with an optional prompt), I went with the prompt, albeit quite unremarkably!  A haibun, but not.  In other words, a paragraph and a 5/7/5 that is not a haiku.  Nor is it a senryu.  So, it's that "everything else" form zappai!  Can it still be called a haibun then?  🤷   Also, the first Tuesday of the month over at Tanka Tuesday is Poet's Choice.  My choice is a... um... prose/zappai, of the Taco Tuesday sort! Friday Writings prompt : "...write poetry or prose about food: cooking it, eating it, sharing it, craving it, dreaming of it … the choice is yours."  I like tacos as much as the next person does. They’re really a perfect food, completely customizable.   Beef or chicken, both or neither.   Pile on the veggies and cheese, or leave them naked.    Sour cream with a ...
