31 Days in Seuss: The Rules

Some of you have already written me to ask “what in the world is 31 Days in Seuss?!” Well, it’s like the 30 Day Song Challenge that I did last month (in June), only it’s done in verse, like Dr. Seuss. Each day, I will have to answer the Seuss prompt with as much cleverness, wit and rhyme as I can muster, and with a healthy dose of neologisms.

I’ll just say at the outset that I’m no poet. I didn’t even know what anapestic tetrameter or amphibrach tetrameter or trochaic tetrameter was until I looked up Dr. Suess on Wikipedia. But, then again, not many people of Theodor Geisel as a “great poet” either, so I’ll just try to slip in like he did. I’m not as confident about making it all the way through this challenge as I was about the music challenge, but I’m certainly going to give it a shot.

Oh the places we will go!

Here’s how the Seuss Challenge will proceed for July. Please let me know if you’re playing along on your own blog. And extra points for comments in Seuss-ese!
