Perfectly Imperfect Birthday
Perhaps, I should ask for a magic spell
To make my birthday party perfect and grand.
"A party? It's not!" Listen to what I'll tell.
"I've never had a birthday party since then!"
Now you're making me burst out and yell.
No confetti, balloons, not even a little cupcake.
But I'm good. My family always greet me as loud as a bell "MALIGAYANG KAARAWAN!"
And no magic can beat that, not even a binding spell.
Prompt for "Dew Drop Inn" : Somehow incorporate a word or phrase of another language into your poem. Usage:"MALIGAYANG KAARAWAN!" is a Tagalog (Filipino) phrase which translates to "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
Prompt for "DWG: Poet, Know It, Show It Contest: Ent" : Special, unique, stupid, great, the best birthday party is? Use one word or all, your choice as to how many.
Prompt for "The Whatever Contest -- Closed for Now" : Find a form of poetry you've never written before and both describe it and write an example. Form Chosen: Magic9 Poetic Form Details:
The Magic 9 poetic form is a great example of how a simple form can be created from a mistake and how some of the simplest forms are also the most fun to write. The magic 9 is a newer form and relatively unknown. In fact, I couldn't find a creator of the form, though it appears to have been inspired by a poet misspelling the word "abracadabra." This 9-line poem doesn't have any rules as far as meter or subject matter--just a rhyme scheme: abacadaba. That's right! Just remove the r's from "abracadabra," and boom! A new poetic form.
Prompt: Find a form of poetry you've never written before and both describe it and write an example.
Written for "The Whatever Contest." "The Whatever Contest -- Closed for Now"
