2026 Day 5: Windy Curls

 

Windy Curls by Penelope Olive

 

Can do without windy days

never really liked seashores

neither island paradise

feel of year-round trade wind roars!

 

Born upon an island small

Next isle too a windy place

Though my inside curls fare well

open air blows hair ablaze!

 

So one day one has to go

And as my coif still remains

I seek out ways high and low

Avoid winds! and oh yes - rains!

 

 

 

Prompt: Today, your challenge is to take a page from Catullus and Darwin, and write a poem in which you talk about disliking something – particularly something utterly innocuous, like clover. Be over the top! Be a bit silly and overdramatic.
