Doing It Again - NaPoWriMo April 2024 - 4. Chapter 4
<><><><>
21: Write about something made only on Earth
Do donuts dare to be made elsewhere?
Can you find them in the great out there?
Do Alphacenturians meet for brunch
or rather, perhaps, have them at lunch?
As far as we know, other worlders aren’t aware
of these sugar-glazed rings we love to prepare.
22: Write about a Headache
Pounding in my head
Silent screams, a dull throbbing
A headache's cruel gift
23: Write about a haunting
In shadows deep, where moonlight fades,
A ghostly presence wanders
Through halls of memory, gliding
In whispered echoes, abiding
A spectre of the past, it lingers
In languid, silent anguish
Its hands offer chilling touches
To haunting memories, it clutches.
In midnight's cloak, it finds its voice
A ghostly, mournful wail
It fills the air with sorrow's song
A haunting melody, so strong.
In the dawn, the spectre flees
light dispels the ghostly body
But in the shadows, it awaits
To haunt again at twilight's gates.
24: Purple
Purple blooms in my mind
Rich, it is a regal hue
It dances as the sun retires
lost among the solar fires
25: Clown
Smile painted so bright,
the spotlight hides waiting tears
clown dances alone.
26: Write about a deceased friend
You were a friend, true and steady
Leaving memories of laughter and delight
But now we’re left lonely and sad
You were taken too soon one dark night
Your voice echoes in our thoughts
We gather to weep and to mourn
How do we say goodbye?
Forever from us, you’ve been torn
Life goes on and must be lived
We remember you in our dreams
Moving on, you’re not far behind
alive forever in memory’s streams
27 Tanka
In dreams we danced
Hearts entwined whispering love
Now shadows linger
Echoes of timeless passion
Faded now like fallen leaves
