Joyances

The Prompt for the NaPoWriMo today is,

Our own prompt for today should be a little simpler. (As always, the prompts are optional). Once upon a time, poetry was regularly used in advertisements, most notably the Burma-Shave ads:

Said Farmer Brown
Who’s bald on top
“Wish I could
Rotate the crop”
Burma-Shave

Or

She put a bullet
Through his hat
But he’s had closer
Shaves than that
Burma-Shave

Today, I challenge you to write your own advertisement-poem. You don’t need to advertise Burma-Shave. Any product (or idea) will do. Perhaps you could write a poem advertising poetry? It certainly could use the publicity! On that note, let me leave you until tomorrow with this paen to the virtues of advertisement:

The codfish lays ten thousand eggs,
The homely hen lays one.
The codfish never cackles
To tell you what she’s done-
And so we scorn the codfish
While the humble hen we prize.
It only goes to show you
That it pays to advertise!

Also, tagging this post to #atozchallenge.

Also, I don't know whether I have been completely able to do justice to today's prompt. But this is what I chose to write, which is straight from the heart.

Joyce I write

Pondering Two I pour

Words that ignite

The Love and Passion for more

Lovely, Beautiful and Fantastic

Adjectives showered upon

Makes me tick

On and on

Seeing my stories in print

I feel pleased

Imprints after imprints

Work and passion squeezed

Without your constant Love

Wouldn’t have been possible

Thank you; over and above

I pledge to be humble

Hope you connect

With me and my writings

Be it on twitter or FB
