Mythical Creature writing prompt entry
|
Writing Prompt Write a POEM (maximum 30 lines) in any style, that mentions a MYTHICAL CREATURE, such as the Yeti, Abominable Snowman, Big Foot, Sasquatch, Loch Ness Monster, Unicorn, Bunyip, Taniwha etc. Your poem doesn?t have to be about the creature specifically (although it can be), but its name must be mentioned in the poem. |
Author's Notes:
1.) The Yeti, or Abominable Snowman, is an unproven legendary ape-like creature said to inhabit the Himalayan mountains. For the people indigenous to the region it is part of their history and mythology. Stories of the Yeti first emerged as a facet of Western popular culture in the 19th century.
2.) This poem was inspired by recent news of the loss of life in overcrowded conditions while climbing Mt Everest, the world's highest peak. As a New Zealand resident, with an interest in Buddhism, I have been fascinated by the Himalayan region for many years, and have visited Nepal. Our national hero, Sir Edmund Hillary, was the first to summit Mt Everest in 1953 (with Sherpa Tenzing Norgay), and until he died in 2008 was instrumental in developing many schools and hospitals in the region. I am so pleased he got off the mountain alive.
