The Bag Lady

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.
