“Today, I want you to crack the whip on your muse. Crack a joke. Crack us up. A mirror cracked. A book cracked open. The crackling of a fire. A crack of lightning. A crack of light under the door. The crack of dawn.
Get it? Crack open your pen and give us a poem of 44 words using some form of the word crack.”
Avoiding wide crack
in sidewalk, I enter
friend’s house. She’s in
her kitchen cracking eggs
for a cake. ‘Look behind
that door’ she says. Door is
open a crack. I push it
and roar with laughter.
Crackerjack boxes are piled
up for my birthday!
So many fun uses of the word here, Sarah! Love it!
