Daddy

Daddy

Big Daddy was in a bad mood that day.
As he thought about the state of things,
As he had a few drinks.
He had so many secrets yet to tell me
But he sensed time was out.

New Prompt: You are going to write one Chronos~w
You can find some information here: "Chronos~w"

Your title: Daddy (as I was listening to a song from Johnny Cash with the same name)


The Chronos is a new form. The ~w stands for the fact that this form is written in words, instead of syllables. It is developed by my own daughter Alexa Boonstra, and myself. We were discussing some formula's a few weeks ago, while she was learning hard for her math test.

She asked me what Pi2 was. (here I go with my wisdom) Question marks in my eyes were popping up and she said dry: "Chronos".

So: Pi2 = Chronos.

She took her calculator out, which is half a computer anyway by itself and showed me. I noted down the outcome and pondered on it. An idea popped in my mind, Chronos as poetry form was born.

Chronos = 9,8696

Chronos is a single stanza poem.
