April Musings - 11. NaPoWriMo 2017 Week One
Day 1
Ruins
Stone towers lie recumbent
No longer reaching
For blue, but consumed by green.
Day 2
“Careful ties his hat on…” prompt. Write a series of short stanzas that personify adjectives or abstract nouns.
Awkward stands in the corner, wringing his hands instead of mingling.
Confused thinks Sarcasm is cruel.
Careless forgets that words have power.
Grief mourns the loss of friendship.
Day 3
Circular Reasoning
The premise is supported by
the proposition we supply,
X is true because of Y.
Y is true because of X,
Lowered heads, much perplexed.
Day 4
More "Careful ties his hat on…" lines
Patient smiles politely as Clueless prattles on.
Fate locks eyes across the room, his sentence abandoned mid-thought.
Expectation drums his fingers, disappointed he was not met.
Wonder stares wide-eyed at Fate.
Truth careens around the room like a drunkard, causing sobriety with each slam.
Day 5
Prompt: “Looking for Words” Write a poem about words.
Uninspired
Words lay frozen
beneath the surface
like fish in winter
waiting to be caught
and consigned to paper
Day 6
Prompt: “Field Guides” Let your poem tell of a small, resonating memory of a moment’s observation of the natural world. The suggested form was a Haiku.
Happy Place
Multi-hued valley
Visible breath, pounding hearts
Two legs astride four
