Zip Ode… attempted | 4.9.26
On Monday, Bonny shared a new-to-me form of poetry… the Zip Ode and with the sharing she also invited those reading to give it a try.
Well, almost instantly an idea began germinating in my brain. Now, I live in the South Hills of Pittsburgh and though my is easy to remember (15243… I mean it is perfect especially if you type it out… the perfect back and forth of a line of numbers… ) However, no “free-spot” zero’s to help at all.
So over the course of Monday… Tuesday… and Wednesday… I played with the awkward word number combinations. A puzzler’s puzzle to be sure!
Is this great poetry? Oh, heavens no! But it was fun and my brain got a most excellent word work out!
Frost!
Winter is battling to win
but Spring
has never been defeated.
Weather games continue.
I thought it might be delightful fun to challenge my brain to do a Zip Ode a week for a bit… let me tell you, it was an excellent distraction from the Shite Show that is life. I may or may not share my future Zip Ode attempts, but I call on all of you to accept Bonny’s invitation and give a Zip Ode a try!
Happy Thursday everyone! See you all back here next week!
