NaPoWriMo 2024 day 14

Pen on top of an open book

Day 14 of NaPoWriMo.

My poem

A terza rima sonnet.

Pals with Egypt

Israelites with evil ways — 
Though living in the Promised Land
We're still living in the Egypt days.

Pharoah did not promise land
But lashes if you slacked at work
Then God showed him his mighty hand.

Through wildernesses, lessons learnt;
A gift of real estate from God
Retired us from all our work.

But then we lusted after gods
And turned ourselves back into slaves
But this time it's a choice, though odd.

Israelites with evil ways — 
Still living in the Egypt days.

Featured poem

In this limerick, Ed Salem of Boynton Beach was addressing the rising sea levels associated with climate change.

There once was a senior Floridian
who lived by the sea in oblivion
when climate change hit
his life changed a bit
and he had to become an amphibian
