Poetry Month Prompt #24

April 24: 

Write a poem about something you believed as a child, but that turned out not to be true. For example, and not a proud moment for me, I conflated reality and nursery rhymes into believing girls don’t poo. What did you believe once? I could name so many more for me. Have fun. 

From the Muse library: To the Green Man: Poems by Mark Jarman. “This collection leaps into the dangerous currents where poetry and religion meet, and enlivens the lexicon of traditional American Christian belief by testing its doctrines and language against contemporary experience.”
