jumble... today's one-word prompt
No way! Did a leprechaun make this mess? #STUCKBumblebeeChallenge
Do you ever feel jumbled? Today, shake the feeling loose. What comes to mind? IDK, do you immediately think of a toy box? How about your sock drawer? How does the word jumble make you feel? I can’t help but think about words that rhyme with jumble. Do you smell some sort of jumble cooking on the stove top?
Wait! What’s that noise? Is it a leprechaun? It is St. Patty’s Day, you know. Now, I’m thinking that it’s time for me to jump into a pit of bouncy balls at the Patty’s Pizza Place. No… I don’t dare to that, but I do think I’ll write a poem.
I’m closing my eyes. Remembering a sticky mess. Pondering what form to use. What does jumble lead me to? Where does this one-word prompt lead you?

No saggy middles…there’s a promise of the premise to fulfill.

An entire ecosystem jumbled together, unlucky predators and prey in stacks.
My poem for the March 17 #STUCKBumblebeeChallenge is a Fibonacci.
