NaPoWriMo Prompt
Today’s prompt (optional, as always) veers slightly away from our ekphrastic theme. To get started, pick a number between 1 and 10. Got your number? Okay! Now scroll down until you come to a chart. Find the row with your number. Then, write a poem describing the taste of the item in Column A, using the words that appear in that row in Column B and C. For bonus points, give your poem the title of the word that appears in Column A for your row, but don’t use that word in the poem itself.
Happy writing!

| 4 | Tea | Cuckoo | Unfit |
| 5 | Oranges | Gurgle | Irreverent |
| 6 | Mint | Boing | Primitive |

My Poem
Row: 7
Column A: Watermelon
Column B: Splash
Column C: Mocking
Watermelon
The biggest splash
Ever made by
A boy in a
Summer pool
Was the thrashing throes
Of his drowning woes
While his mocking father
Ate more watermelon.
