napowrimo #6: bow tie

dear penguin baby,
holding you in feverish grip,
barely daring to shiver,
your father would not die
until you were safe

did you thank him?

this week's prompt was to draw inspiration from an image. mine came from the moving image march of the penguins and also nash's penguin doodle, or at least what i thought was a penguin doodle but turned out to be an overworked office man. not much of a difference, i thought. sadly, i can't put up either image.
