			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My friend Deb over at <a href="http://www.sandiegomomma.com" target="_blank">SanDiegoMomma.com</a> is hosting creative writing prompts every Tuesday. I am so glad to be stretching my writing skills in this way. After I started my reponse I realized how rusty my skills are.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s prompt:</p>
<p><strong>Write a nonsense poem</strong>. <em>Make up words. Create silly sentences. Whatever. Just make it all a bunch of make believe and not making sense-it-ness.</em></p>
<p>My nonsense poem:</p>
<p><strong>How My Favorite Snack Was Created</strong></p>
<p>The pizza crust lay lonely on the plate<br />
Looking up at the glass of Coca-Cola<br />
It was love at first sight<br />
She was tall, dark<br />
And had a bubbly personality</p>
<p>The pizza crust whispers sweet nothings<br />
Woo’ing Coca-Cola<br />
“I may be food<br />
but you will like my Amora”<br />
She felt tingly inside<br />
And knew this must be love</p>
<p>The pizza crust picked up a leftover olive<br />
Bent on his only knee and proposed<br />
Coca-Cola fizzled with glee<br />
“Yes! Yes! I shall marry you!”</p>
<p>The pizza crust leaped in excitement<br />
Bounding right into the glass<br />
Coca-Cola thrilled to be together<br />
Until they got eaten</p>
<p><strong>Bonus Poem:</strong></p>
<p>A couple of weeks ago I wrote this poem when I obviously wasn&#8217;t feeling well.</p>
<p><strong>Nauseated </strong></p>
<p>stomach is turning<br />
upside down<br />
all around</p>
<p>churning<br />
swooshing, sloshing<br />
knock. knock. knock.</p>
<p>here it comes<br />
better run<br />
need to make it<br />
pull hair back<br />
quick!</p>
<p>lift the lid<br />
Oh!<br />
pink. red. yellow chunks<br />
What did I eat?</p>
<p>Tropical punch doesn’t<br />
taste bad coming up<br />
Am I done?<br />
get it all out</p>
<p>blow my nose<br />
one more hack<br />
Yep. all done<br />
hmm. minty fresh again.<br />
Hello pillow!<br />
don’t move.</p>
