For today’s prompt, write an odd poem
Odd Doesn’t Work
For so many people odd just doesn’t work
Things come in pairs, its some sort of a querk
My mom always said friends work better in pairs
‘Cause three is a crowd, one thinks nobody cares
Couples and babies, one girl and one boy
Even most games have some even-type ploy
A car has two seats, two right up in front
Calling shotgun fast is always the stunt
for anyone riding in anyone’s car
Just going downtown or even quite far
Then there are days whose numbers are odd
But they are all bad, made by someone who’s flawed
Like the thirteenth on Friday, which we all know is bad
But parents of triplets know three’s what they had
They think they are lucky and maybe I’ll try
to feel odd is more lucky, although I don’t know why.

A cute “odd” poem! I’d have written this as an Oddquain! (an unrhymed syllabic poem of 5 lines with a syllable count of 1/3/5/7/1) A Crown Oddquain is a series of 5 Oddquains linked by a common theme…. The November PAD Chapbook looks like a really fun challenge!

I have never heard of an Oddquain. I will have to see if it is on my list of 100!

When my kids were babies I told my husband I wanted to try for #3 and he said no way because he knew I couldn’t live with an odd number and I’d have to have 4!

I always said I wanted twins before I knew how hard it could be. We never pulled the trigger on number three.

If it was realistic economically I would have loved to just keep having babies! But in this day and age my late husband and I didn’t think it was fair to have a bunch of kids that we couldn’t properly provide for.
