drained of spirits in wanting
to proceed with the discharge of
responsibility towards a delicate
little creature that appeared dead
amidst foul discharge
in a clogged drain
yet in the light of affections and
concern for a living thing little
did she realize it could be a novel
idea for the projected incline towards
ideas for a novel which had long
been a spirited project on hold
she mulled the denial of proceeds
to finance such a project but to hold on
to hopes with zest
she had done lots of writings of short
stories not green to say the least
and a green plumage could trigger off
such a venture
why not?

Could, you never know, but yeah, likely no dough
ReplyDeleteDefinitely no dough but something that should be pursued anyway.

ReplyDeleteSplendid work on using homographs here, Hank!❤️
Sometimes it is the little things that spark our muse to bigger things. Love this Hank!!
ReplyDeleteWhy not indeed?! It's interesting how you told an entire story with these remarks and also, the homograph wordplay works very well here. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis was amazing--I could almost hear those phrases building like chords through the poem.
ReplyDeleteI really like how the end marks the beginning of the real adventure. Now I wonder what will happen after that "Why not?"
ReplyDeleteYes, why not? you never know. I enjoyed your write, Hank.
ReplyDeleteExactly... why not?... compassion with a small creature is never in vain
ReplyDeleteGood to meet you, Hank.
ReplyDeleteYes, it could be the basis for a novel ~ lots of compassion. Loved the read.. . :)
Yes, I say go for the write!
ReplyDeleteI echo all the why nots! And I enjoyed your homographing.
ReplyDeleteWhy not indeed Hank.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
I say she should go for it. We dont write for money, we write because we must. Where else would all the words go? smiles.
ReplyDeleteWhy not write? indeed...
