Poetry Challenge #118-It's Getting Darker
Pretend I’m waving a ticking pocket watch before your eyes.
“It’s getting darker . . . darker . . .”
In a few days, Sat. Dec. 21st, it will be the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. That day will have the least amount of daylight. The good news? Days grow longer after that!
Poetry Challenge #119
It’s Getting Darker
In honor of the shortest day, write a short poem. Get your writing implement of choice ready and set your timer. Below is a 4-word prompt. Noodle over it a moment and then write as fast as you can. Ready?
I need a break…
Your poem might become a picture book, too!
Set your timer for 7 minutes
Don’t think about it too much;
just
Start
writing!
