Today's NaPoWriMo prompt is to write a prose poem in the style of a postcard. Well, I tried to do that and used the Veg Head postcard pictured as inspiration. But I ended up writing a rhyming poem instead of a prose poem. Oh well.
Mr. Veg Head
Mr. Veg Head smiles benignly
with his pea pod teeth.
He's got a carrot for a nose
and onions for his cheeks.
His ears are ripe tomatoes.
That's why they look so red.
His hair is made of leaves that
grow out of his turnip head.
He tries to look debonair.
Don't fall for his disguise.
Just look at the evil glare
in his beady black bean eyes.
He tries to look refined
but he is quite the vulgarian.
I know he's a cannibal
because he's a vegetarian. - Jeff Barnes
