Listen well, while I tell you a story of a mom and her son at the breakfast table, once upon a time!
A picky eater and a tantrum thrower at hands, left the mom eggasperated.
To create some eggcitement, she thought out of the box,
donned an ingenious artistic armor, creating eggceptional anecdotes.
One day it was the happy Eggy, And the next day, scary Eggard.
Each morn, an eggelicious story unfolded from her repertoire.
And then, her boy ate the eggs, happily ever after!
In response to secretkeeper.net’s prompt # 151, to use the following 5 words in a poem or fiction.
Tame|Tot|Peak|Rest|Tale
A nonet in response to the above.
(Nonet (9 – 8 – 7 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1) progression downward of syllables)
A tale of many a harried mom
trying in vain to tame her tot
terrible twos, at its peak
temper tantrums cry foul
raging frustrations
yearning for some
me time, to
rest in
peace.
I am sure many moms can relate to this one 🙂
Mundane moments
oscillating moods
unreasonable demand
met with disapproval
emotional outburst
flaring tempers
torrential downpour
raucous screams
failed reasoning
loud tirades
time out!
Oh! it’s such a challenge
to handle children’s tantrums!
