For today’s prompt, write a massive poem. The poem itself could be massive in size and length. Or it could take on a massive problem, describe a supermassive black hole, or praise a massive bowl of ice cream covered in chocolate syrup and whipped cream. Whatever you write, I hope it’s a massive success. — Robert Lee Brewer, Writer’s Digest

An olive-green stuffed frog
— of an odd fuzzy fabric
called eyelash fur —
hopped our whole family into the wondrous world of Webkinz
when you turned 5.
Matt picked out Froggy as a present for you,
with specially sealed tag attached
containing a secret code
to unlock
the kid-friendliest MMO.
Soon, the three of us each had accounts
(Dad played on ours).
We adopted pet after pet,
collecting one stuffed animal after another.
We sent digital presents back and forth,
decorated virtual homes,
grew vegetable gardens,
collected rare items,
mined for gems.
Long after its heyday, and ours,
Webkinz World is still there to visit
and Froggy lives on.
