Life of a Poem in a Good Poetry Workshop/on a Good Poetry Playdate

NaPoWriMo 7 April: “In her poem, “Front Yard Rhyme,” Cecily Parks evokes the sing-songy beats that accompany girls’ clapping games, and jump-rope and skipping rhymes. Today, we challenge you to write your own poem that emulates these songs – something to snap, clap, and jump around to.”

 Fun prompt! One of my favorite things to do is to hold constructive poetry workshops playdates. For more on that, check out Pernessy Poetry Workshops by Elizabeth Boquet —or not and let "A-Tisket, a-tasket..." play in your head as you read today’s poem.

Life of a Poem in a Good Poetry Workshop on a Good Poetry Playdate

a whisper        
a whistle
baked into a brain cake
sliced in pieces
passed around
and turned into a soufflé
