RE: Day 482: 5 Minute Freewrite: No Shoes Needed
How do you do that? I can't.
Once I wrote a ditty about my toe for my writing group...after I'd had a mole removed (foolish woman!) Those three verses took a long time.
I just love yours.
MY TOE
A thing of beauty is my toe
No more is it a source of woe
But not that very long ago
My great toe did hurt me so.
The wound was small, as these things go,
Though with a toe, small things grow
Until, like an avalanche of snow
The toe became a hell below
Now my toe treks to and fro
Supports my weight wherever I go
Hence here I stand to proudly crow
Behold the wonder of my toe.
Thanks @agmoore! Your "My Toe" is a good one and the last stanza made me smile. : )
To answer your question, I find it easier to tell a story when I rhyme so sometimes it just pops out as a "ditty." And, the only time I have any imagination is when I rhyme. I used to love to tell nursery rhymes to my 2 kids when they were young and made up many of my own verses to make them less boring after reading them hundreds of times. LOL!
