POW PROMPT 3
POW PROMPT 3
Something a little less mind bending this time.
It was the first fresh peach I had ever tasted.
I could hardly believe how delicious.
At twenty five I was dumbfounded afresh
By my ignorance of the simplest things.
From 'Fulbright Scholars' Birthday Letters by Ted Hughes.
Write a poem inspired by this quote. See you next Wednesday Banditos and remember Bob might not be your Uncle.

It was 'Curry Nite' at the Ooo-flung-doo

By the shed full with salt and vinegar

POW PROMPT 2

Here's the prompt.
Here's mine:
I used one of the rhymes from my playscript Music Street...
NEVER QUITE EVER
Down on the street where
the puppy dogs meet and
the big dogs mate.
I had my first date
with saucy young Kate.
By the back alley where
Gordon met his fate, that's
where the rats come up for air...
She asked, if I loved her?
of course I said, yeah!
...so watch your ankles if
you're strolling down there,
and pull your hat down over
your eyes or you'll think it's
snowing when the pigeons fly.
She kissed me and hugged me
and told me, she loved me!
I guess that's why the boys
wear boots on Music Street...
Blue midnight was, never quite
ever, the same after that!
...they're no good for dancing
but they keep your ankles
strapped to your feet.
