Writing practice: Continue with The Cat in the Hat in blank verse

Above a little smile lightly veiled,

Our mother’s gaze hit boy, then girl, then fish.

“Alright,” she said, “you finish up in here,

I’ll cook us up some warm and yummy soup.”

Some day, perhaps, this lesson will return,

In circumstance of greater consequence.

How passive acquiescence holds the door

For ill intent to shelter from the rain.

And all experience hath often shown

Mankind will suffer under evil’s weight

Until what’s simply bad gets bad enough

And rallies him to see, to speak, to act.

[ok, we’ll call this the end. a five-act story in blank verse. good job.
