NaPoWriMo #11: A ovillejo
This wasn’t an official prompt, but I was looking up poetic forms and was so enchanted by the ovillejo that I had to try my hand at it.
Catechism
Who’s given rule o’er everything? The king!
Who offers prayers for most and least? The priest!
What’s offered up for all our vice? The sacrifice!
Not any mortal works suffice To cleanse the sin that man has done So we rely on God’s own Son The king, the priest, the sacrifice
#napowrimo 2024#poetry#maybe a too-trite take on the subject#but i was getting distracted by this during prayer#and realized that god has an awful lot of titles#which is very useful for this structure#i would like to try it out for other subjects though#it's just such a fun little sing-songy structure and i'd like to see what one can do with it#i do like the official prompts by the way#i've been building up a couple ideas from previous days' prompts#but these shorter ones are coming together faster#i do want to get those other poems out before the prompts become too outdated though
