Poetry Challenge #258 Waffling

The largest waffle ever made weighed in at 50 kilograms, (110 pounds, 3.68 oz).

Tallest stack of waffles ever made stood 67 centimeters (2.19816273 feet) tall.

There are 1963 Waffle House Restaurants in the United States. (As of Aug 24, 2022)

 Why do you need to know this?

Because it’s National Waffle Day (Aug 24th)!

While I’m pretty sure they mean the kind you eat, let’s think about another meaning of the word. Let’s think about when when you waffle between decisions.

Poetry Challenge #258

Waffling

Have you ever wanted to do two things at the same time but you had to pick one?

Have you ever held up the ice cream line while you decided which flavor?

Have you ever held two books, trying to decide which one to read next? 

Write a poem where you argue with yourself. One line will talk about one decision you could make and the next line will tell why you want to do the opposite. Argue with yourself!

Add descriptive language so a reader can see how hard the decision is.

Set Your Timer for 7 Minutes

Start Writing!

Don’t Think About it, just do it! Waffle!

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.
