Monorhyme writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt A Monorhyme is a poem in which all the lines have the same end rhyme. |
Author's Notes:
The ending of my poem may be somewhat unexpected. As I am in charge of my own poem, putting in "apple pie" completely changes the tone of the poem. I did it to lighten the sombre mood, and I was feeling hungry at the time. It amused me to think that Arab sailors might enjoy a slice of pie if they survived the storm. (In modern times, there is a very strong American presence in the United Arab Emirates, and Dubai is very cosmopolitan, so apple pie may well be easily available.)
The painting is "Arab Dhow", by William Daniell RA (1769-1837). He was an English landscape and marine painter and printmaker, with experience of sailing the Indian Ocean.
