Writing prompt challenge: – pat/pet/pit/pot/put

Creative Writing Prompt (SoCS challenge) in the raw, no edits… just for fun

/pat, pet, pit, pot, put/

… short-vowel words, such as these,

I see everyday

as my five year old son is finding his way.

He’s making a stride in this thing called Life;

he’s starting to read, starting to write.

Just five letters and five simple sounds

(a,e,i,o,u)

for a five year old … they are quite profound.

They come alive bringing meaning to youth:

signs, books, ads, and simple sentences alike

these five little letters are making him bright.

We change the beginning and ending sounds

but the short vowels are always around.

We make silly sentences

and then call it a day…

such as…

“Pet the pit bull pet, then put the pot away.”
