Poetry Challenge #117-A Month of Holidays

Every day is a special day. If a day dawns in need of an excuse to celebrate I make a quick search. I delight in finding calendars that telling what each day is special for—more than 1500 a year and counting. Today December 11, according to nationaldaycalendar.com, is National App Day and National Noodle Ring Day.

Poetry Challenge #117

A Month of Holidays 

No matter what the National Day is, December is a month filled with hustle and bustle and lots to keep you busy. Take a moment to write a poem and breathe! Get your notebook or computer ready and set your timer. Now consider the prompt below, and write as fast as you can. Ready?

                        Nothing shines like . . .


Set your timer for 7 minutes

Don’t think about it too much; just do it!

Start writing!

*Evidently, no one knows the origin of National Noodle Ring Day but it’s a day celebrated by making “the pasta dish which is formed in an 8 or 9 inch ring mold or bundt pan.  Usually made from noodles, flour, breadcrumbs, cheese, eggs and other seasonings, this dish has quite a following.  When baked the noodle ring is removed from the mold and served on a plate giving it an elegant appearance.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Try your skills with making a noodle ring thing and post with hashtag #NationalNoodleRingDay
