Today’s prompt was to write a “how to” poem. Since I ran a 5k today, I figured I’d focus on that. And here’s my “emancipation” daily drawing.


how to finish a 5k:
1. pop in a stick of gum
2. turn on upbeat tunes
3. putter defiantly as the National Anthem plays
4. one foot in front of the other to the beat when the whistle blows
5. jog throue one song or two
6. walk as needed
7. smaile & peace signs for any photographers around
8. let the music pull you
9. finish line’s near – give it your all
10. smiles & peace signs one last time
11. collect your medal and a bottle of water
12. celebrate doing something good with your body
