Howdy!
The NaPoWriMo prompt posited:
Today, I’d like to challenge you to find an idiomatic phrase from a different language or culture, and use it as the jumping-off point for your poem.
I picked two from here (because, why not?!) “Att glida in på en räkmacka” in Swedish (“To slide in on a shrimp sandwich.”) and ไก่เห็นตีนงู งูเห็นนมไก่ in Thai (“The hen sees the snake’s feet and the snake sees the hen’s boobs.”). What fun…!
He slid in
On a shrimp-lined sandwich;
All sushi and simpering.
But his serpent socks
Could not escape
My barnyard vigilance.
Again with the fowl deeds… 😉
Big hugs, stay safe, and be sure to stay tuned for Day 23!
