ignoring the angels.

give me something brilliant.

prompt:
"Mondays child is fair of face,
Tuesdays child is full of grace,
Wednesdays child is full of woe,
Thursdays child has far to go,
Fridays child is loving and giving,
Saturdays child works hard for his living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay."





give me something from that.
i prefer prose or freeverse.
but if you enter rhyme, it had better be amazing.

oh, your username like this, please.
a l e x a n d r a .


on your marks,
set,
go.




alexandra, ♥

      but if you enter a rhyme piece, it had better be amazing :]

      • I thought so. I have you on my favorites but since the prompt rhymed I thought I'd ask. I write free verse mostly so I might try.

          awesome :]

          • Okay so mine was a total freewrite. I wrote whatever came to me. It's LONG and it started out free-verse and then it turned into rhyme so it's mostly rhyme but it's not cliche.

    kinda depressing. I'm monday-born, but hardly fair of face - or of anything else.

        you don't have to look at me every day, so that's easy to say, haha.
        but it doesn't matter, 'cause it's never gonna change, right?
        I'll try to enter soon.

          pfff, i've never met an ugly poet. :]
          and whatever you think, you're what, 11/12? at that age, i looked like a long hair beachball. with bad teeth :]
          and i was no way poetic.

          i'd love you to enter. =]

            long-haired beachball? interesting imagery.
            I'm a whale with a wig and some plastic surgery.
            I've got the start of a poem but it'll take a while.

              it's true :]
              i found this thing i had done when i had braces, before and after, it was horrendous.
              it's alright, reserve if you want =]
