It was loping along by a forest glen
when a hag of a snag caught one foot
Whoa! **, **!
it's big toe started to grow and swell
First a limp and a hop,
a shuffle and stop, then
the pain was so hot, it up-shot
for a furry upending
So there supine in cool muddy grass
raising its sole while sitting on ***
this poor creatures cooing lament
over his bulbous toe now thoroughly bent
Gaining some strength and not one to relent
the big one stood up and willed his intent
head for the hills to find a healing willow
and while there find rest on mossy pillow
If you find yourself upon a trail
and find a Bigfoot print with big-toe scale
remember of this woods wise tale
and watch your step that snags entail

Challenge: Try writing a poem that makes reference to one or more myths, legends, or other well-known stories, that features wordplay (including rhyme), mixes formal and informal language, and contains multiple sections that play with a theme. Try also to incorporate at least one abstract concept – for example, desire or sorrow or pride or whimsy. In addition structure the poem like a symphony. It’s four sections, like symphonic movements
