A Quadrille prompt at dVerse Poets earlier this week from Mish, another 44 word poem with a prompted single word to include. The word this time around?
“Fish”
The prompt explains, more in full, Mish’s inspiration.
//////////////////////////////////////////
Fish Tales
They hung
flung
high in the air
where they stunk of
fish
too long in the sun
tales
spun
fish oil charlatan
from podium
none worthy of consumption
‘cept for willing blind deaf dumb
with fetid wine and green crawling buns
fishing false salvation

So many fish tales still lingering. It amazes me how some still hold on.

Tell me about it!! I don’t often go here with my poetry but this prompt making me think to start with “Fish tales” just seemed to lend itself to it. Thanks for the prompt Mish!
