Day 4
Our (optional) prompt for the day challenges you to write a poem in which you take your title or some language/ideas from The Strangest Things in the World
I had a look at some weird and wonderful phenomena in this awesome world (courtesy of Google) and composed this little rhyme.
Strangest Things
Who doesn't love an orchid
the blooms so long they stay.
But come and look what this one did -
It upped and walked away!
orchid-mimicking insect
Or have you seen the spiders
mimicking as ants?
They look sweet to outsiders,
but don't get them in your pants!
ant-mimicking spider
And if you go down under,
there's a plant in dessert streets,
where insects tricked as plunder,
as it stinks of rotting meat.
The Carrion plant
The more we look at creation,
scientists have found,
that what's known is but a fraction
of the spectacular around.
