NaPoWriMo Prompt
Now for our daily prompt (optional, as always). Yesterday, we looked at a poem that used sound in a very particular way, to create a slow and mysterious feeling. Mark Bibbins’ poem, “At the End of the Endless Decade,” uses sound very differently, with less eerieness and more wordplay. Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem that, like Bibbins’, uses alliteration and punning. See if you can’t work in references to at least one word you have trouble spelling, and one that you’ve never quite been able to perfectly remember the meaning of.
My Poem
Cave Dwellers
Clunking spelunkers descend
Through cooling guano they wend.
From the limestone vault depend
Armies of bats, chittering rats,
Rabid cave denizens.
Horned millipedes meander
Thirsty mosquitoes muster
Harried scorpions posture.
Critters and creatures and ghastly creepers
Patient Black Widows tether and spin.
Indefatigable fauna
Fecundity found far underground
Undeniably NOT
My cup of tea!
