Poem a Day, Day 5

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!
