Greetings! I hope you all are having a fantastic National Poetry Month! So, today we will have a Word it Out! You can select each of the words to put all in one poem or write more than one or just pick the ones you like. It’s all up to you!
Be sure to share what you come up with!
There are also many other choices for prompts. You might want to check out Robert Lee Brewer’s Poetic Asides or NaPoWriMo!
Have a great Saturday!!
Coloring the Day into Night
Coloring the sails with clouded light
Drifting to the sea blue green white foaming
Living in the lifeboat made for you and me
And now we will know freedom
Every walkway shadowed
Sanded with the substance of pinks
Glassine with shimmery powders
Gasping for air and sinking
Grasp my hand and pull me up
Let me stay beside my ever more
Sipping from the silver chalice
Once more to know sweet ardor
Communion is not for the crowds
But for the one who partakes
A personal commitment to being more
Yet to be more is to be less
Greetings Poetic Warriors! It’s Friday and Day 10 of National Poetry Month. That makes 10 days of writing poetry and 1/3 of the way to the end. I’ve been having fun, but also challenged with the prompts. This picture up there is one from maybe last year or before.
For today’s prompt let’s write a colorful poem. It could be a poem about a certain color, color in general, a favorite color, what color means to you, etc. The blue sky is the limit, even if you paint it green! As we are getting close to weekend, let’s hop to it!
There are several other prompt sources and here are two: Robert Lee Brewer’s Poetic Asides and NaPoWriMo.
Looking forward to seeing your poetry in comments!
Retirement is an interesting term often used for people when they are older
Enlisting in new adventures can be fun and educational as well as uncomfortable
Taking each day as it comes helps when you have the luxury of such a treat
Instead many retirees are facing less than plentiful resources and need stimuli
Restlessness may come about when someone has less to live on than a dollar
Enrolling in programs is challenging and it matters to have help to console
Despite attempts to act as if all is well it is important to find means to the end
…..
This is a double acrostic, meaning the beginning and ended of each line is of the same letter. The read down view on either end is “retired” also the name of the poem, not that it has to be for any “rules.”
This is in response to the poetry prompt for this day #9 of National Poetry Month. You can see the prompt HERE
Today’s Poetry Prompt is: Let’s write a tired poem, it could be about how tired you are, observations of tiredness, hopes of being retired, re-tiring the car, or any other tired or wordage therein.
You can always check out Robert Lee Brewer’s Poetic Asides or NaPoWriMo, maybe even combine them with mine. Mix it up, ya know 😉
Please do share if you use the prompt!
Happy Writing!
