Well I am still reeling from the political assassination of our elected ex (hours ago ) Prime Minister.
It happened in the dead of night while everyone was asleep except for night owl me, who managed to write an email of support to Kevin Rudd hours before he was deposed. So at least I could do that. I was also very lucky to have a friend from Tennessee at the end of an email when it happened. Sorry Barbara about the expletives. Enough of mirky politics for the moment and on to our prompt.
WHO AM I? Write a poem about a well know person, celebrity, historical or mythical figure. Please do not reveal the name . It should be fun to guess who it is . If you want to write another terza rima sonnet for practice I would not oppose the idea! See you next Wednesday POW.
Rall, nice prompt, will do. To clarify, how might we confirm true identities of our subjects? Maybe through conversation after the fact (as opposed to end notes with the post?)
ReplyDeleteAbout Julia, sounds Shakespearian how this happened. We like Kevin, one of the good ones.
It certainly was a shock BDB.I would say more Stalinesque than Shakespearean.Although you could be right, Julia Gillard makes a very good Lady Macbeth.
ReplyDeleteWhen everyone has had a guess you can give the answer or if they don't guess you can be mean and keep it to yourself. I can read your mind so I will guess it anyway:)
Interesting prompt...! Murky politics. Hope things settle into something human in your political arena.
