NaPoWriMo Prompt

Finally, here’s today’s prompt — optional, as always. 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.

My Poem

Take my Heart


One day you and I will

Both be

Old enough to see what

They see


Until then we'll find our

Own way

Without hearing half what

They say.


Take my hand and take me

With you

Take my heart, and I'll be

Yours, too.
