I have chosen this prompt from the following 2024 prompts by Judey Kalchik: Write a lullaby (it doesn’t have to rhyme, but it could) for one of these: a star, a rhino, a cup of coffee, a candle, your first car, a child, your parent, your job, an ear of corn, your phone, the sea.

A Star Lullaby
A star, a star, that is what you are
A child is born today
Your first car is not far away
A rhino, a rhino next to that star
~
An ear of corn growing so tall
However, can you have been so small
Your phone will come in handy
When at the sea, I love salt candy
~
A cup of coffee is all I need
Well, maybe a candle too, will help you to succeed
Your parent is loving and kind
Your job can be to help them unwind
~
Note: it does look like a rhino, next to a star!😉

Muses & Musings
Welcome to my new series, a weekly blog on what’s inspiring me. I spent much of last week in bed with a stomach bug. I’ll spare you the details of that—but in addition to the grotesque physical symptoms, I had some fever dreams I won’t soon forget. Imagine my surprise to see Vocal’s newest challenge: Write a fiction story about a recurring dream or nightmare.
