The Madness Of March Hares - A Mikeydred March Dollar Prompt For All Vocal Creators

Introduction

Each month, we set prompts in the Vocal Social Society. We offer a dollar tip to five random creators who take part and ask them to share their stories in the comments and on the thread in the group.

This is not official, and usually after each one I say that's it, but this is another time where I say, "No, let's have another prompt.

So What's Gonna Happen This Time?

Please write me a story or poem, with the theme being things related to the month of March, Madness, March Hares, or use anything related for ideas.

You can combine March and anything else for your poem or story, or take one of the ideas on the link or list below

Here are a few March days which may inspire you:

• March 3 is Holi, the Indian “Festival of Colors” that marks spring and renewal.
• March 3: What If Cats and Dogs Had Opposable Thumbs Day
• March 8 is International Women’s Day, which is a day that not only celebrates the achievements of women and the progress made toward women’s rights but also brings attention to ongoing struggles for equality around the world.
• March 8 is the start of Daylight Saving Time, which begins at 2:00 A.M. that day. If your area observes it, don’t forget to “spring forward” and set the clocks one hour ahead, or you may find yourself an hour late to everything!
• March 11 is Johnny Appleseed Day, celebrating John Chapman and everything apple!
• March 11: International Fanny Pack Day
• March 13: National Earmuff Day
• March 15 is the Ides of March! Legend surrounds this ill-fated day. Beware the Ides of March!
• March 16: National Panda Day
• March 16: Absolutely Incredible Kid Day
• March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day. According to folklore, folks wear a shamrock on St. Patrick’s Day because the saint used its three leaves to explain the Trinity.
• March 20 brings about the March equinox—also called the vernal or spring equinox in the Northern Hemisphere—marking the beginning of spring. In the Southern Hemisphere, this date marks the autumnal equinox and the beginning of fall. On this day, the Sun stands directly over Earth’s equator.
• March 23: World Meteorological Day
• March 29-31 are known as the Borrowing Days. According to lore, the last 3 days of March have a reputation for being stormy.
• March 31: World Backup Day

I will write a story myself and include it, but that won't be classed as an entry.

I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with, and I know that you are all incredibly creative Vocal talents, so get your pens, paper and keyboards out.

The music is "Madness" by Prince Buster

Take a listen, it may inspire you.
