NaPoWriMo 2023 Day 21

Today’s prompt – choose an abstract noun from the list, and then use that as the title for a poem that contains very short lines, and at least one invented word.

Delight
by ARHuelsenbeck

a baby’s
laugh
the aroma
of snickerdoodles
baking
a two-
for-one
sale

anything
sparkly
snail mail
from 
a friend
an unexpected 
gift

a funny 
joke
a song
well-sung
a rom-com

an extra
day off
wildflowers
strawberries
and whipped
cream

these are 
things that 
excite me
dynomite me
delight me

Reading your list poem was indeed a delight, Andrea. I love that you started with a baby’s laugh but, as a Brit, I have no idea what snickerdoodles are!
