Write a poem about the soft animal of your body Better yet, write a poem about your body, animal or other
First verse: Love your body
-weigh its presence -impertinently impermanent- in whale blubber measures
-heft your round zaftig belly, yeasty soft as puppy love
-strut your sagging butt with peacock pride
Second verse: Work that body
-jiggle your rubenesque thighs with kittenish delight
-dance with monstery abandon -stomp your feet, and kick those toes,
-lift your nose - glorious as a proboscis monkey’s - and stop to smell a rose
Third verse - Same as the first, maybe not worse?
-cup your sloppy droopy breasts, lift them to the glory of the goddess
-elevate your stooping dowager’s hump with fairy wings. Don’t forget to sing!
-grace your fingers, those sweet little gnarled twigs, with silly sparkling rings
Closing Couplet
Romp little poet, romp, romp, romp
You have mastered the poetry prompt
(with a nod to Mary Oliver)
Prompt: Write a poem . . . in the form of a poetry prompt.
