I didn’t use the prompt. We had a pet die this morning and I chose to instead use my hour six poem to write about the chicken.

 

Nugget

 

You were sweet and onery

Quick to escape and a little bit of fun.

We are sorry to see you go

You started out one of the most mean

Of the litter we received,,

But you mellowed quickly.

 

We named her nugget because

She was onery and quick witted,

Damn it nugget was often heard…

Now we say that for the tears

Cried because we miss you.

 

Your funeral pyre was glorious

Go ahead, show the gods

You are magnificent!
