W3 Prompt #214: Wea’ve Written Weekly
Intro
Dear friends,
Welcome to our W3 Poetry Prompt, which goes live on Wednesdays at The Skeptic’s Kaddish.
You may click here for a fuller explanation of W3; but here’s the ‘tldr’ version:
Part I
The main ingredient of W3 is a weekly poem written by a Poet of the Week (PoW), which participants read before participating in the prompt.
Part II
The second ingredient is a writing guideline (or two) provided by the PoW. Guidelines may include, but are not limited to: word counts, poetic forms, inclusion of specific words, and use of particular poetic devices.
Part III
After five days, when the prompt closes, the PoW shall select one participant’s poem as the W3 prompt for the following week, and its author becomes the next PoW.
Simple enough, right?
Kindly note: All entries for the W3 poetry prompt must be the original work of the submitting author. AI-generated poetry is not permitted.
Okie dokie ~ Let’s do this thing!
I. The prompt poem:
‘West/East Combo’ by D. Avery
fledgling imaginings flutter before they soar held safe in the sky’s open palm of dreams manifestations— discarded shells lie empty hear the robins chirp
II. Deanna’s prompt: Mother Goose Muse
For many of us, our first introduction to poetry came through nursery rhymes — those strange, playful, memorable verses we heard long before we understood what poetry even was.
For this week’s W3 challenge, you are invited to use a nursery rhyme as inspiration for an original poem. Your poem does not need to rhyme, and it may be written in any form you choose, but please try to keep it to no more than 24 lines.
You might:
- Incorporate a nursery rhyme character into your poem — as narrator, subject, symbol, or inspiration.
- Borrow or adapt an opening line from a nursery rhyme.
- Simply follow the memory of a rhyme wherever it leads you.
Perhaps “Humpty Dumpty” becomes a poem about aging. Perhaps “Jack and Jill” becomes a memory. Perhaps one forgotten line opens an entirely unexpected door.
If you cannot recall a favorite nursery rhyme, a list can be found on this PDF. The Poetry Foundation also has an excellent collection of nursery rhymes available online.
III. Submit: Click on ‘Mister Linky’ below
In order to participate and share a poem, open up this blog post, outside of the WordPress reader. At the bottom, just below these words, you will see a small rectangular graphic with the words ‘Mr Linky’. Click on that to submit.
Submissions are open for 5 days, until Monday, June 8, 10:00 AM (GMT+2)
Last week’s W3 poem
This week’s W3 prompt poem (above), composed by Deanna, was written in response to last week’s W3 prompt poem, which Reena wrote:
‘Door shut’ by Reena Saxena

Una filastrocca per chi cerca valore, non rumore"Se insegui il vento e il fragor,
perdi il sentiero e anche il cuor.
Quel che luccica e va in fretta,
è solo una trappola perfetta.Ma se una quercia vuoi coltivar,
con pazienza la devi guardar.
Le radici forti nel terreno saldo,
danno un frutto d'oro, non di talco."Coltiviamo la quercia

"The Twelve Days of Christmas" is an English #ChristmasCarol and #nurseryRhyme. A classic example of a #cumulativeSong, the #lyrics detail a series of increasingly numerous gifts given to the speaker by their "true love" on each of the #twelveDaysOfChristmas (the twelve days that make up the #ChristmasSeason, starting with #ChristmasDay). The carol, whose words were first published in England in the late eighteenth century, has a #RoudFolkSongIndex number of 68.

St. Thomas's-day is past and gone,
And Christmas is a-most a-come,
Maidens arise,
And make your pies,
And save poor tailor Bobby some. -
On Christmas eve I turn'd the spit,
I burnt my fingers, I feel it yet;
The cock sparrow flew over the table;
The pot began to play with the ladle. -
Although not mentioning Christmas, this was apparently part of a tradition in Lancashire.
[A Christmas custom in Lancashire. The boys dress themselves up with ribands, and perform various pantomimes, after which one of them, who has a blackened face, a rough skin coat, and a broom in his hand, sings as follows.]
Here come I,
Little David Doubt;
If you don't give me money,
I'll sweep you all out.
Money I want,
And money I crave;
If you don't give me money,
I'll sweep you all to the grave! -

Four colly birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves, and
A partridge in a pear tree. -
Dame, get up and bake your pies,
Bake your pies, bake your pies;
Dame, get up and bake your pies,
On Christmas-day in the morning.
Dame, what makes your maidens lie,
Maidens lie, maidens lie;
Dame, what makes your maidens lie,
On Christmas-day in the morning?
Dame, what makes your ducks to die,
Ducks to die, ducks to die;
Dame, what makes your ducks to die,
On Christmas-day in the morning?
Their wings are cut and they cannot fly,
Cannot fly, cannot fly;
Their wings are cut and they cannot fly,
On Christmas-day in the morning. -
Bounce Buckram, velvet's dear;
Christmas comes but once a year. -
Little Jack Horner sat in the corner,
Eating a Christmas pie;
He put in his thumb, and he took out a plum,
And said, "What a good boy am I!" -

This delightfully detailed shoe charm pendant necklace is based on the nursery rhyme, There Was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe. The charm is vintage, hinged to reveal a tiny mother and three children inside the shoe house. Even the hobnails on the boot heel are detailed! The charm is hallmarked with a maker's mark and silver 925. It hangs from an 18" or 46cm chain of recycled sterling silver.

“Gufo, gufo della notte scura,
che porti via fame e paura,
veglia su tutte le nostre genti,
vecchi, bimbi e sugli armenti.Col tuo canto che può far paura,
tienici amici con madre natura
e fate, gnomi, fastidiosi folletti,
non potranno più farci dispetti”.#filastrocca popolare

A #NurseryRhyme, just because:
Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross

Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes 🔔
And she shall have music wherever she goes 🎵 -
🐈🎻Remembering the childhood magic of "Hey Diddle Diddle" on #FolkloreSunday 🐄🌛The earliest known publication of the rhyme is around c. 1765, and it is often associated with Mother Goose, a legendary author of French fairy tales and nursery rhymes.🍽️ #NurseryRhyme 🪿

Here's one for the #Education #K12 people maybe.
What's that #NurseryRhyme (i think?) something about... i think it's #cheese . and they're all sitting there. Might be a #hen with a #classroom of #students but i prob made it up like #falsememories
the IMPORTANT part is the end (of course) where the one guy-- i think he's a #rat -- well, he says "I'll have some of it...", and the hen basically tells him he's a jerk, and shouldn't have any because he didn't #contribute to making the cheese (whatever it was).
😬Sound familiar?
🤔

This nursery rhyme was clearly written by a cat owner:
"Pussy-cat ate the dumplings, the dumplings,
Pussy-cat ate the dumplings.
Mamma stood by, and cried, 'Oh, fie!
Why did you eat the dumplings?'"🎨: Gems from Mother Goose (1899)

He had 75,000 men

And then he marched them off again. -
As a city kid it wasn't until I was in my 40s that I figured out that the phrase "This little piggy went to market" was NOT a story about one pig going shopping. It was about a pig being slaughtered.
I wondered were I got that idea & then I found all these books illustrating that #NurseryRhyme.

I realise Harry is probably now at an age when he'd like this video to be buried forever but it's the most adorable parent+child folkie duet ever, and knowing dad is filming just offscreen makes it even better. I recommend watching to the end after the singing stops.
