Today's NaPoWriMo prompt (taken directly from the website):
Today, I’d like you to take one of the following statements of something impossible, and then write a poem in which the impossible thing happens:
The sun can’t rise in the west.
A circle can’t have corners.
Pigs can’t fly.
The clock can’t strike thirteen.
The stars cannot rearrange themselves in the sky.
A mouse can’t eat an elephant.
Well, I love writing about impossible things, so I had fun with it.
Impossible Things
The sun can't rise in the west, they say
but somehow this morning it did.
A convertible sped down the highway.
driven by a big purple squid.
Flowers grew out of the ceiling
as the moon rolled across the floor.
A lion played a glockenspiel
and a goldfish began to roar.
A penguin made a pot of tea
as a walrus baked a chocolate cake.
A rhinoceros rode a motorcycle
across the surface of a lake.
Believe in six impossible things before breakfast,
at least that's what Lewis Carroll would say.
But you should believe in much more than that
for impossible things happen all day. - Jeff Barnes
