Prompt Nine (9): These Words [Hour 9]

I was in my cottage…

And this strange little bird

… popped in.

He told me, “Ain’t this heat like sin?!”

I looked at the treeline;

shaking the lethargy of

my quarantine.

There my porridge sat,

and ZOOM, the bird spat!

I saw he wore a mask!

And threw a bottle,

at the thing …

No lie,

it was that damned

Firefly!

  1. Hmmm. I like your version better than mine. 🙂 Hope you enjoyed the entire marathon as much as I did. And I hope you also have the time to peruse through the poems written by others. It is inspiring and motivating. 🙂
