graceful leaps into strong arms, the familiar ballet begins
many dancers flow into view, swanlike feathers fluttering
orchestra music swells, the swan lake theme plays in the background

Ronovan Writes Sijo Wednesday Poetry Challenge #34. Use DANCE as your inspiration this week.
For the 2022 November PAD Chapbook Challenge, poets are tasked with writing a poem a day in the month of November before assembling a chapbook manuscript in the month of December. Day 2 asks poets to get a little sweet.
I’m certainly a lucky one
With helpers to get done
Little things like driving me
Wherever I should ask to be
Sweet personality is required
And ability to never tire
From requests from someone old—
A family made of gold.

Eight superman dressed ten year olds entered the haunted house
Everyone hid timidity, though scared as a small mouse
A venture on the hallowed eve.
No one knew what they’d receive
It was Joe’s turn to be first in case a sacrifice was needed
The creaky door filled their hearts with fright, of course never heeded
Joe pushed through ancient spiderwebs, his cape used as a shield
And the others trooped behind him, and their capes also weild
But no skeletons did they find, but one old lonely lady
She looked welcoming and surprised and was sitting at a table
“Oh my grandchildren have arrived, I’m so glad you came for tea!”
The boys were realizing what they found and sat down with relief
The lesson here an old one, don’t judge a book by its cover
The old woman needed friends and that’s who they discovered.

This week’s Story Starter teaser is: ALLISON STARTED LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY WHEN SHE FOUND OUT THAT…Joe had fallen for the old “It’s chocolate” when it was actually a disguised laxative. Allison’s revenge was sweet but even though Joe was at school, he was “mysteriously” missing his classes most of the day.

My face turns crimson as I look forebodingly down the prison hallway. My idea for the bank robbery did not end up the achievement I desired. The night guard on duty was supposed to be taking his usual midnight nap, but of course his plans changed. Now I’m going to be stuck in a square box for the next 12 years.
