On to the Reindeer game! Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop chosen prompt:

ABCs of ME
Anonymous
But well known
Cunning and never
Deceptively thrown
Elegant while spinning
Farce and fiction alike
Goddess of house and
Home and mike.
Injured reserve and
Jaded, no less
Killing me softly
Letting me confess
My thoughts, nay my dreams
Never brought to light
Oh, how I wish
Paupers no fright.
Queue up for the game
Realize your limit
Surprise yet again
Turn around and spin it.
Uniformity unmasked
Virtual gazes
Wishing for yet more and more
X-ray phrases.
Yelling and screaming and finding no solace
Zipping through life with too many causes.
And...
(Because I’m an overachiever with poetry)
.
A
Bear
Cub
Dangled his
Eager
Foot, just above the
Gurgling pond.
He heard
It
Jingle,
Klink, then
La-POOT
“Mama,
Not
On
Papa’s
Quingle!”
Rearing up and
Steady, our
Tired bear
Undid the bracelet of
Violets he
Wore. Then, an
X-tra wide
Yawn, he
Zzzzzzzleeps.

(Okay, that sucks, but at least I gave it a shot.)
You are an overachiever. Something like this would take me forver.
I'm excited to caught up with you later today.
Loving these, Miss Overachiever! The first one is fantastic and the second one is super cute! You rock!
You did a great job then gave us more. Thanks
Very creative! I'd be that all morning to do one!
That was great! Zipping through life is something I can relate to.
@JEanne: nice! That was quick!
@K: can't wait to see you guys "IRL!"
@Jenners, yours was better!
@Elftea, Michelle: thanks for stopping by!
@Buff: look at Jeanne, she can do it in her sleep!
Look at you!! Those are awesome...my favorite was the first one. I can't believe how much information you were able to compact into such a short poem. Goddess of Mike, I applaud you.
So creative! I like "elegant while spinning". This looks like a fun game to try. I think I'll share your second bear poem with my kids. I know they will enjoy it :)
