In response to "Return"

Oh, interesting comment! I hadn't looked at it like that but I see what you mean. To me, it seemed one of those prompts that tells the story for you and I was just attempting to subvert that by taking an unusual line. They addressed me as the father, so I thought about how I'd feel as the father and expressed that, at the same time avoiding having to continue a story in which the punchline has already been stolen by the prompt.

As regards mystery, that comes of having only one half of a conversation - we never hear what the daughter is saying and have to work that out for ourselves. ;)

I wish I'd not read the prompt, I really enjoyed the mystery you maintained here in your poem.

In response to "A Slight Adjustment"

LOL, Blueyez, I can't deny the thought of WDC crossed my mind as I was writing this. But typos are sent to plague me. No matter how many times I edit, there's always at least one that slips through.

"(Thern) he brightened and said ..." typo?

Good story. I really like your characters.

After I finished reading, the thought crossed my mind that perhaps stars mean nothing at all in the end. Much like many things here in WDC land.

Ode to a Bathtub

Ode to a Bathtub

Oh, perfect porcelain potentate of purity!
How bright your name
in the order of bidet, basin and bowl,
preeminent and famed,
alone you stand, in greatness venerated.

Now your shining flanks so adamant
support your crown on high,
that silvered tower above the crowd
blessing from the sky,
source of showers of soothing balm.

Down to the welcoming receptacle
cascade the cleansing waters
to fill your strong and polished sides,
lave your sons and daughters,
thus cleared contamination of the day.

So to the sacred drain and depths
the teeming waters flow,
to disappear forever from our sight,
our sins dissolve and go,
renewed we stand, glowing children of the bath.

Line count: 20
Rhymed abcbd, varied meter
For PromptMaster! Prize Prompt, Week 3
Prompt: The most nonsensical thing to write an Ode to.
