Crimson’s Creative Challenge #133 – Never Mess with a Mama

Welcome to Crispina’s weekly challenge! Open to all, just for FUN, FUN, FUN!

Here’s how it works: Every Wednesday, a photo will be posted (my cover). And it’s up to you to respond with something CREATIVE!

Here are some suggestions:

• An answering photo
• A cartoon
• A joke
• A caption
• An anecdote
• A short story (flash fiction)
• A poem
• A newly minted proverb, adage or saying
• An essay
• A song—the lyrics or the performance

My Submission 🙂

Her eyes were wide,

Peripherals, on point.

Nothing would escape her:

Not that passing car, 

That man, or his dog, 

And definitely not that racoon feasting in a nearby trash can.

Not that cat, rustling in the bushes,

Or that child playing hopscotch on the sidewalk.

Mama was prepared to fight,

Anyone or anything

That threatened her baby.
