Assignment #4 has a word prompt of Animal to be written in the form of a Concrete Poem using the device of Enjambment.
Here’s my poem about our cat Pepper and my youngest son.
Our cat
was named Pepper. It
lost its mother,
so we thought
it would be a good
pet for our kids.
Our youngest
son was
always good
with music
and art.
| It was black and white,
and one day we found
he carefully colored in
the white area
along Pepper's
n
o
s
e
between the eyes
with purple marker
while it was asleep.
|
Another time
we discovered
he had drawn a
life size picture
of an indian
in full headress
(with arms crossed)
using crayons
on his bedroom wall -
we had been in Indian Guides.
| Sometimes we would
find the cat
hanging
by its claws
from weave curtains
in the living room.
|
And somehow it survived 18 years. | |
It thought it would be interesting to learn more about poetry, so I am taking the Writing 201: Poetry course over the last two weeks of February. Let me know what you think, and comments are appreciated.
