Harold

I recently purchased a book entitled 642 Thing to Write About. Basically, it's a book of 642 writing prompts for young writers. I am not young, but love to write.

I had decided not to do prompts in the order they are given in the book. I let the book fall open, close my eyes and point. Today's writing idea: Write a poem about a bird that is afraid of heights.

Harold was a very special bird.
His song could always be heard.

He spent most of his days by the pond
In the park which he was so fond.

When approached he never took flight
Because poor Harold was afraid of the height.
