Each week, Jenny Matlock of “... off on my tangent...” assigns us Centusians a prompt from which to construct a 100 (or less) word story. No photos are allowed and the posts must be PG. This week, she mixed it all up my assigning a poem that rhymes! I don’t write poems that rhyme, so this will be a challenge for me. If you’re new to Saturday Centus, you will find all the rules as well as the posts by clicking on the Saturday Centus button on my sideboard.
This week's prompt? “I’m not a chicken...” Following is my pitiful attempt to make a poem out of it.
I’m not a chicken, my dear.
Try to scare me if you dare.
Chase and me I’ll disappear,
maybe ride off on a mare
or make a famous career
searching for treasure so rare.
I’d make a great pioneer
not stop to give a small care
if you’re bringing up the rear.
Jenny, I’m losing my hair!
(I'm totally embarrassed, but since I'm not a chicken, I'm posting anyway).

Me too ;-) Funny stuff here...your writing gives insight into who you are...hope you are well...Namaste
I think we are too mature to be scared of very much any more!! Great take on the prompt!!!
I think we are all a little terrified of this prompt...but we are not chickens, just as you are not, and posted anyway. This poem is good...just what people should say when called chicken!

Very good job and no need to be embarrassed. This was quite a challenge for most of us and stretching ourselves brings out the best of us...you did great !!!
Hee hee! You made me smile. Who cares if it doesn't quite rhyme. I give an A+ for trying and I don't like to write poems either.~Ames
wow...this was a fun read...nice one this. :)
Now this made me smile, what a fun take on the prompt. Anyone who has read you for any length of time knows that you are certainly no chicken CJ! Kat
LOL! I liked this! Such a fun, spirited poem! Really cute!
Each one better than the last. That's so true of yours too.
Cute! And it's good you aren't chicken. Great Centus!
Well done - all rhythmic and rolling!
Oh, oh. I am laughing so hard!
I love this kind of random rhyme. It is so whimsical and fun!
You are quite clever...
and...
I'm really sorry to hear about your hair.
