Fast Fable
Thus, in haiku-speak,
allegro allegories
mean prompt parables.

Note: Laurie Harris Kolp is a contributor at Imaginary Garden with Real Toads. She provided the prompt for today's poeming, with the word 'allegro.' However, there was a small catch to the prompt: in addition to using the word 'allegro' which means quick or brief, poets can pen no more than eight lines to the single stanza (an octave) of our poems, and we have to write it in under a minute. Give it a try - it's really challenging and fun!
I suppose they do! Quick, neat, upbeat.
