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!😉
