Jack and the Beanstalk illustration by Tony Oliver from Best Ever Treasury of Fairy Tales (Currey O’Neil, 1980)
Every night my master played me
He always hit the note
Drowsing in our celestial chamber
My prow against his throat
The way his fingers moved
My body all a’strum
Then one day the small man came
Fee, Fi, Fo Fum
I cried out when he took me
Cruel, forcing me back to earth
This lout and his poor mother
Really don’t know what I’m worth
Today’s National/Global Poetry Writing Month prompt/challenge was to write a poem in the voice of minor character from a fairy tale or myth.

Great take on it! I especially love the first part 😉
Thanks Angela! 🙂
Very interesting and creative, I like how you combined the famous lines with a scenery of your own creation. I also like that you, like me, did this prompt through the strings of an instrument 😀
Thank-you – I really appreciate how your comments get into the detail.
