Mackenzie Rants Upon Day 27

Maybe I’d like Carolee even more if she’d
Arranged for us to have an easier prompt
Call me predictable, or call me
Katharine (I’ve been known to write under different names)
Even when the words are flowing like Guinness
Neither Nietzsche nor even
Zeus himself can begin to
Imagine my chagrin, knowing that
Every prompter has her day.

(inspired by the Day 27 NaPoWriMo prompt provided by Carolee Sherwood, in the form of an acrostic poem using my surname)

    You'd be surprised what Zeus can imagine...

    When Guinness flows, Nietzsche knows.

    Fun. Well, only three more prompters will have their day this year!

    Katherine?...Nah
    I see you more as a Boris or Yuri
    a big bear character in a sable fur hat
    something straight from Dr Zhivago

    The word chagrin is so pleasing to say aloud. And glad you chose the correct spelling of Katherine, like my daughter....

    My pseudonyms include Laura but never a male moniker. I need to think about that....

    A very appropriate rant for this point in the NaPoWriMo process!

    Well done! I didn't rant today, but definitely whined the two before this.
