NaPoWriMo-Word Count with Mama Zen

Am I really going to attempt this?  Thirty days of  poetry?!   I will miss the A-Z Blogging Challenge-I still hope to drop by and cheer some of you on!   Mama Zen took it easy on us, after shocking us with this April Fool prompt:  


Greetings, Toads!

Today, I would like you to write a double inverse Venetian sonnet using the traditional hexatonic goatameter. Your piece must include two nuns, a priest, a gopher, and a space / time paradox.  Please address either universal health care or twerking in the volta.

April Fool's!

How about you just surprise me . . . in 37 words or less.


It is April Fool-did you fool anyone, yet?!  I might just do this.




BLUE'S CLUES


Blue Man group's ancestors
met with designers
left Delft blueprints 
porcelain pride lingers
proud peacocks strut catwalk
wolf whistles ensue
Yes, Henny Penny the sky fell
on clothing-who cares what the fox said!

Good for you tackling the challenge, Ellie......I LOVED all the eyes in the fridge! your blue photo art is wonderful. And a great poem too. So much creativity this morning! I am still sitting here like a Dull Thud, trying to accustom my aching head to remaining upright.

Best wishes for the 'Poem a Day,' Ella. I wish I had your ambition. Also wish I had time for A to Z stuff now.

I liked the trip from the Blue Man Group to the Blue Paper Dolls. The 'Fox' threw me for a bit until I searched it on Mom Z's blog. I met the 'Fox', we are the "Fox".
