NaPoWriMo 2017 - 4. Days 22 to 27

This week was what it was...

April 22, 2017

 

Is the world out of balance?
Or is it me that’s out of whack?
The weather has been crazy
Let’s have popcorn for a snack.

Come to bed, and kiss me
Hold me in your arms
I want to grow tomatoes
Can we just buy a farm?

You think this poem’s nutty
Don’t venture into my brain
Not a good place to visit
Better you take the train.

Tanka:

Trees are looking green
Leaves are just a day away
Slowly life returns
In my beating heart the same
Precious hope is resurrected

 


April 24, 2017 Prompt: Write an elevenie. The first line is one word, a noun. The second line is two words that explain what the noun in the first line does, the third line explains where the noun is in three words, the fourth line provides further explanation in four words, and the fifth line concludes with one word that sums up the feeling or result of the first line’s noun being what it is and where it is.

 

Sun
Golden star
In heavens above
Bringer of warmth, growth
Life

Moon
Glowing orb
Lunar guide, tides
Light in the dark
Poetry

 

April 25, 2017 Prompt: Write about a small space

Inside these merged boxes
I am safe
Surrounded by brick and glass
I am safe
Filled with curio and baubles
I am safe
Surrounded by love and bagatelle
I am home

Beach Break

 

It’s today, so you’ll wake

Hope there’s no earthquake

As you head off for the clambake

Was the turn-off a mistake?

I’m not such a snake

As to forget my coffee cake

That would cause heartache

No apology would slake

Jim is bringing shortcake

Gaston’s on the make

Peter’s such a snowflake

All he does is muckrake!

The water looks opaque

We’re all still wide-awake

Let’s play patty-cake

Use a condom for Pete’s sake!

Poetical Frustration

Oh where is the poem

Where are the rhymes

There’s no more rhythm

And meter? What’s that?

I’m tired of forcing out verse

That means nothing to me

Prompts aren’t helping

Inspiration is lacking

Muses don’t care

I can’t even swear

But I can say frack it!

 

Thanks for your kind support.

At first reading, the Poetical Frustration stood out to me. Those moments you describe so aptly have stretched out for weeks with me...I can really relate. A second reading convinced me that the Tanka mist touched my heart. A third reading confirmed that choice, even though 'merged boxes' came a close second. The Tanka spoke to me of joy in the glorious spring; you touched me with thoughts of resurgent hope. Thank you!

I'm still laughing at the last line of "Beach Break"... "Poetical Frustration" is wonderful... maybe that's why NaPoWriMo doesn't appeal to me personally... I love poetry, as you well know, but if I had to force it out, I think it would not be a good experience. I have so much respect for those who can meet the challenge, though. Yeah, the poem about 'small space' was a tim poem... well done... Gary....

I think that the Tanka is one of the better ones in this group.  Poetical Frustration happened after I sat here most of the day trying to write something.. anything.. i was so ticked off. 

 

Thanks for reading and for your wonderful comments.. xo

The first one and Beach Break were nonsense poems glad one of them gave you a smile.  This month has been super difficult for me. Last year I dont think I was writing anything else and of course that's when Ripley was ill and died so i had a lot to get out. But this month.. i will be glad when its over. 

 

Thanks for your great comments and insight Gary!!  I appreciate it.
