For today’s prompt, write a release poem. Maybe somebody’s being released from prison or a contract. Maybe a person is signing a release form. There’s emotional and physical release. Animals capturing and releasing other animals. Trees releasing leaves in autumn. And so on.

Here’s my attempt at a Release poem:
“in words, no”
but I’m afraid your actions have
provided enough reasons that I
feel you could never truly ever
care for more than money. I sought
the city for small examples of your
charity, but I found no release.

His golden shovel today was taken from a fairly popular Christmas story (and since I can’t find the book, it may be slightly paraphrased). If you can name the story, you get one point. Two points if you can pinpoint the exchange.
