Anecdotes

This should be fun. I know exactly what I want to write about.

Today's challenge is to write a poem in which we retell a family anecdote that has stayed with us over the years.


Runaways

They'd asked permission
to run away

It was not taken seriously

They were given food
and waved goodbye

They did not come home

It grew dark, 
George went to look for them

Someone called home

They'd made a campfire
outside a family friend's home

They couldn't be punished 

They'd asked permission
to run away
