Fairy Tale Prompt From Spinning Straw Into Gold: An Experiment in Concrete Poetry.

 takmaj 

I love Christie's Fourth Friday Fairy Tale Prompts. When I'm given a small prompt like this I feel like I can write anything and not really be too stressed about the result. This poem must be record timing, since she just posted this month's prompt today. But it's just a small poem, something that came out very quickly. Something I don't really expect anyone to be all that impressed by. But out it came, and so why not share? Once again, the prompt is the image, the poem my reply. P.S. I hope the spacing comes out alright on different computers/ phones!
