Today's NaPoWriMo prompt was to to write a poem about a mythical person or creature doing something unusual. Bren (my creative director) suggested "when dragons go bowling." I wrote this for JP (when she's old enough to understand English).
When dragons go bowling
they play in Tornado Alley
They use the flat plains for lanes
and the gutters are valleys
When dragons go bowling
they bring their own shoes
in specialty sizes
from giant to huge
When dragons go bowling
They roll magma into a ball
roll towards the mountain tops
oh the earth shakes as they fall!
When dragons go bowling
They don't keep a score
If it's a strike or a spare
they don't care—
Let's play once more!
