Step into the Lead
Hello, dVerse poets! It’s Merril writing to you from southern New Jersey with today’s prompt.
Today we’re going to give secondary characters a voice. Choose a character from a well-known story, myth, book, fairy tale, movie, play, or even song who is not the lead character.
“Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates” is about a poor brother and sister who entered a race and the adventures surrounding it. Being one of my favorite books, written by Mary Mapes Dodge in 1865, I happened to be fascinated by the country’s landscapes, flowers and windmills. I also had frozen brooks to race down thinking I was Gretel! Great things awaited her and her family.
**not exactly an answer to the prompt but it did bring back beautiful memories to me.
