Poetry Challenge #249-Go For the Os
Fries or Rings? I go for onion rings every time. If like me, you go for the Os, then this is your lucky day! Happy National Onion Ring Day (June 22nd)!
Folks go round and round and round about who came up with the delish idea to batter-dip and deep fry rings of onion.
According to Spirit of the Holiday website:
Texas-based restaurant chain Kirby’s Pig Stand claims it played a big part in onion rings’ craze. Give me an O! Oh yum!
Ohhhh No Mooooooo! Kirby’s Pig Stand is long gone.
Give me an O! Oh yum, I want some!
Want Crunch? Watch and Listen!
Poetry Challenge #249
Go For the Os!
Write a circular poem.
Because the best onion rings are crunchy, use words with lots of hard C & K sounds so they really crunch.
Because the best onion rings—whether we like it or not—are fatty, add extra descriptive words to make your poem extra fatty. For, as everyone knows, when it comes to onion rings—and some poems too—flavor wise, fat’s where it’s at!

Don’t Think About it, just CRUNCH! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Cindy Faughnan and I began this 7-Minute Poetry Challenge 2000+ days ago. Now we take turns creating prompts to share with you. Our hope is that creatives—children & adults—will use our prompts as springboards to word play time. If you join us in the Challenge, let us know by posting the title, a note, or if you want, the whole poem in the comments.
