Written for "Invalid Item" , a contest honoring StoryTot -- StoryMaster's and StoryMistress's first child. Yippeee!!!
Prompt: Write a nursery rhyme for Jack!
Criteria: four stanzas of four lines each, ABAB scheme; Jack as the main character; poem must reference Writing.Com.
Jack takes to float in a cardboard boat,
daring the "Dubble Yoodie Sea,"
and whilst afloat he keeps careful note
of all he sees on his spree:
Robotic eels play with patchwork seals
beneath a dozen dappled moons,
and mermaids squeal great bubbles of teal
that rise as hot air balloons.
Tap dancing whales wear singing seashells.
An octopus flys to Mars!
A sequined snail leaves a gemstone trail
atop waves that wink like stars . . .
Drifting down streams of toys and ice cream,
Jack's cardboard boat soaks in the ink
of countless schemes and the dazzling dreams
creating this endless drink.
