Seana Hurd Wright of Los Angeles is our host today for the fifth and final day of the February Open Write at http://www.ethicalela.com. You can read Seana’s full prompt and the poems of others here. Today, Seana inspires us to write poems about the favorite characters we’ve had over the years.
Christopher Robin for President
I
wore the
shirts growing
up, emblazoned
with Winnie the Pooh
Sears Catalog clothing
of the Hundred Acre Wood
where Christopher Robin’s friends
diverse as they were, got along
and I want to start a shirt movement:
let’s all move to the Hundred Acre Wood
(which doesn’t need to be made great again)
because it never lost its friendship
nor its caring for others, nor
its giving more than it it took
you see, those characters
had embracing hearts
who knew how to
keep focus
on what
lasts
