It's Z last Day in the AtoZ Challenge!
For National Poetry Month, I am posting a poem a day as I participate in the AtoZ writing challenge. I am writing ekphrastic poetry (poems written with inspiration from an image) using a randomly generated image with a randomly generated FAKE word all this month.
Using the site: https://randomwordgenerator.com I get both a fake word and random image for the day. Here's today's image and poem using the FAKE word "zeffereoring":
Zeffereoring
He has teeth like a zipper
to lock the food in
He's all head and tummy
But hasn't a chin
Zeffereoring from one thing
then on to the next
he'll slip into your backpack
and send mom a text
He hides all your pencils
and nibbles on books
pretending he reads them
he nestles in nooks
he's quiet at bedtime
bestowing good dreams
he snuggles and cuddles
he's not what he seems
for in daytime he's different
he has too much spunk
but when bedtime comes
his head goes kerplunk.
asleep with a smile
zipped on his face
but on waking he zings
and makes life a great race.

I've given consideration to continuing daily posts through May...we shall see. It's going to be a busy month of readying the house to sell and finishing up homeschooling the grandkids. But writing is a good distraction from thinking about what I'm doing or have to do.
We shall see. Ideas?? What topic, topics, rhyme schemes, images???
