Poetry Challenge #261-Kidding Around

It’s National Parents’ Day Off (Sept 14th)! Can you imagine how excited your parents are today?

National Parent’s Day Off was established in 2021, but EPIC! A digital library. Why?  “Parenting can be challenging and messy; that’s why parents should get ready for an EPIC BREAK!”

While that is absolutely true, what’s happens to the kids? Enter that Cat in the Hat!

Poetry Challenge #261

Kidding Around!

Imagine your parents really take the day off. What doesn’t get done? What happens because of that? What would you miss the most?

Write a poem about one of the things your parents wouldn’t do. Or write a list poem of all the things.

Try to include how these missing tasks would make you feel.

Set Your Timer for 7 Minutes

Start Writing!

Don’t Think About it, just do it!

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.
