I.
Stripes
zebra
black and white
pattern unique to
each zebra, no two are the same --
beautiful beasts firmly resist domestication.
II.
Stripes
and prints
don't wear them
together they say
but she ignores convention
wears stripes with prints and people admire her taste.
III.
Stripes
kitten
small stuffed toy
my granddaughter found
when we went to shop at Goodwill --
she chose his name immediately, it stuck fast.
These are three separate fibonacci poems written for Peggy's prompt at Poetry Jam. Her prompt this week was Your Stripes, My Stripes!
Lots of variety here... I don't much care for wearing stripes... the last one made me smile. Kids are so unaffected.

ReplyDeleteStripes! Such a fun prompt and you took it in three different directions ... stripes and prints ... eeew! Haha! And now I have to research just what constitute a fibonacci poem!
ReplyDeleteBlack on White or White on Black that is the question. Maybe black and white and read all over if the zebras are in a book.
ReplyDeleteAs you know, I'm one of those gals who has no problem combining stripes and prints!!!! Love the directions you took!

ReplyDeleteWonderful - the second especially made me laugh! K
ReplyDeleteloved them all ..thanks for these
ReplyDeleteFun and delightful. You do the form well and I like the images. Joanna named her childhood cat Stripers.
ReplyDeleteTwo prompts in one! Well done! I often wonder how kids pick the names of their stuffed animals. My daughter named every one of hers when she was small, and she remembered them all!
ReplyDeleteA fashion "no no" prints and stripes. Until a high fashion designer does it and then it is all the rage! ha ha. Thank goodness we aren't so restricted these days when it comes to fashion!
