Poetry Challenge #329-Festival of Sleep
Happy Festival of Sleep Day (Jan 3)! It’s not a national holiday, so you won’t get the day off from work or school. This silly holiday is all about sleep.
Especially if, like us, you barely have the energy it takes to put your feet up…or check rates for that post-holiday second mortgage. Glup.
It’s a day to catch up on Zs after the bustle of the holidays.
It’s a day to think about ways to improve your own sleep cycle. (The right jammies really do make a difference…here’s proof.)
Cindy’s nephew Gavin & niece Keira with their dog Rosie chilling in their cozy Christmas jammies are all set!
Aiden, Dylan, Ben & Jack all cozied up for after all the Ho-Ho-Holidays!
(Ernie’s waiting for a sign from Jack…or maybe a treat…)
It’s a day to take a nap!
We said “sleep” grands…”sleep!
“ Please say you’re feeling sleepy. . .
(backsides to front: Ben, Aiden, Dylan & Jack.)
And, after all the ho-ho-holidays, Festival of Sleep Day is a day to join us for the 7-minute challenge!
Poetry Challenge #329
The Quick Brown Fox . . . . . .
Before you cozy up with your softest blanket, pillows, a good book or movie, write an alphabet poem about something to do with sleep.
Begin each line of your poem with a letter of the alphabet—in order. Can you make it all the way from A to ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ?
Set Your Timer for 7 Minutes
Start Writing!
Don’t Think About it, Write It!
YOU WILL GO TO SLEEP . . . OR ELSE!
HAPPY 2024 Y’ALL! Wishing you a year of creative living!
Cindy Faughnan and I began this 7-Minute Poetry Challenge 2700+ days ago. Now we take turns creating prompts to share with you. Our hope is that creatives—children & adults—will use our prompts as springboards to word play time. If you join us in the Challenge, let us know by posting the title, a note, or if you want, the whole poem in the comments.
