Aditus

I will have to drink more tea.

Definitely.

April 17, you had me with querulous toad, I'm still smiling. April 18, I was weighed down by sadness. April 19 was quite the counterpoint, beautiful wings. April 22, I'm not done with this one, my mind spins. April 24, you found words were I could not. You created a roller-coaster collection this week, as always, thank you, Parker.

Well, at least it sounds cool.

Haha, it's funny in how many movies and shows Düsseldorf is mentioned, and I had to slip in my birthplace somehow. I'm glad you liked my week. #17, is a favorite of mine, too. Thank you for your comment.

@Valkyrie, thank you, for your help.Writing helped to sort my chaos.

@dughlas Thank you for your kind words.

16. But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, The heart, a mysterious organ, Sometimes a simple pump, Sometimes it’s in the eyes, Some days it’s chocolaty. Sometimes it’s even called soul. When it stops, life ends. Prompt: (Talk about the heart, your own or the heart in general, as reality or as metaphor.) Quote: O Captain! My Captain! by Walt Whitman. 17. They met in a non-existent room

Sometimes the story is outlined on paper or in our head, but how to begin? The first sentence should engage the reader without revealing too much or boring them to death. This time we’ll do it the other way around. PT #41a Pick an introductory sentence from a favorite book on your shelf at home or a story on GA and use it to start a short story or vignette. And because it’s still April: PT#41b Choose the first line of any poem and continue to write a poem of your own. PT #42 Did you see the Sub Genre rewrite challenge? Your goal is to rewrite a given prompt to show it instead of telling it. You can focus on the scene itself or rewrite it into a new story. Add more that comes before or after but be sure to include these paragraphs in all the glorious five senses details to bring the story alive for readers. More than one author can pick the same prompt, as we all visualize scenes differently. Have fun!

Only because I have the perfect sounding board.

I loved the months, but April 11 is my absolute favorite. Thank you for composing these.

@Parker Owens, I love the wind, standing on the beach, watching the North Sea during a storm is energizing. Thank you, Parker, I'm glad you liked week 2.

Happy Easter!

@dughlas, I actually thought of migraines when I wrote this. May the golden rays scatter it. Thank you, dughlas.

8. Ruthless minds devise perfidious plans, a way to a new world order. To the beating oil drums of modern war the new diversified cattle are charging into a vicious battle driven by despotic voices they forfeit their precious humanity to an inhumane idea. To a cold term: unrestricted warfare. It stands for war at all levels, it stands for war in every dimension. Do not enter the waiting queue politicians, generals, diplomats,

I think this is perfect to show the purpose of NaPoWriMo, which is having fun. A marvellous idea! Staying with the motto "the code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules." @Cole Matthews Challenge accepted.

The same can be said about zombies.

I needed lots of tissue when I read these. Collie/German Shepherd mixes are the best. #1 and #4 are my favorite.

@Valkyrie Five is yours.

I'm glad you liked the first week. I love wearing hats and sometimes my mind spins what-if stories. Maybe Franz and Peter will return next year.

@dughlas. Our pups--they're hunting celestial squirrels now, and each other. Thank you dugh.

@astone2292, now I'm curious.

1. Do you remember Peter who turned out to be a cheater? He had to live all alone had to sleep on his own and become much neater. Then he met Franz who had such capable hands and a wonderful mind was exceptionally kind and always in command. Prompt: Perhaps today a shorty or two for warm-ups. 2. Bulging buds full of petals waiting keenly to blast their confinements. Clear dewdrops help to g

Your poems always invite me to read them again and again, to find things I may have overlooked. April 2 is my favorite, April 6 is brutally spot-on. Danke for these.
