My Day 6 poem is my response to the NaPoWriMo.net prompt, which is to use a short line from a favorite book as the title of a poem, write a poem based on that title, and then replace the title with something completely different. I started out with a line from the 2006 translation of Meditations, by Marcus Aurelius:
‘…there are two reasons why you should be content with your experience.’
Dear Monday,
This is spring, right?

Dear Sunday,
All clear so far.
Love,

My Day 3 poem is my response to the NaPoWriMo.net prompt, which is to create a Personal Universal Deck (details in the linked post) and then use it to write a poem. My poem is based on these words: ambivalence, petrichor, tumble (I also drew ‘shout’ and ‘dance’, but they didn’t fit the shape the poem was taking).
My Day 2 poem is my response to the NaPoWriMo.net prompt, which is to write a poem about one’s own road not taken.
