#NaPoWriMo
Our (optional) prompt for the day challenges you to write a poem in which you take your title or some language/ideas from The Strangest Things in the World. First published in 1958, the book gives shortish descriptions of odd natural phenomena, and is notable for both its author’s turn of phrase and intermittently dubious facts. Perhaps you will be inspired by the “The Self-Perpetuating Sponge” or “The World’s Biggest Sneeze.” Or maybe the quirky descriptions of luminous plants, monstrous bears, or the language of ravens will give you inspiration.
Happy writing!
PUGNACIOUS - A Shadorma
Pugnacious
little animals,
chameleon
with three horns
living in the Kishasha
Valley, Uganda.
It grows to
a length of over
twelve inches.
The males look
like tiny
versions of the dinosaur,
the Triceratops.
Three horns grow
one from the nose and
two, between
the eyes of
the males, these creatures lock horns
to the very death!
