Don’t you just hate those times when everything comes up at once?
Love,

NaPoWriMo 2015, Day 22: What if the earth just has a fever? (a poem)
Every prompt today seems to be an Earth Day prompt: napowrimo.net, Writer’s Digest, The Daily Poet… The first thing I always think of is George Carlin’s ‘The planet is fine’ routine, so that had some influence on my Earth Day poem…
Dear Wednesday…
Dear Wednesday,
So we meet again…
Love,

A scene from the movie where real life and dreams attempt to intersect (a poem)
Sometimes, falling asleep with the TV on affects my dreams…
Dear Tuesday…
Dear Tuesday,
I can already tell this is going to be one of those sluggish days…
Love,

NaPoWriMo 2015, Day 21: Erasure poem (a poem)
Today’s NaPoWriMo.net prompt is to create an erasure poem, in which you take existing text and erase words to make a poem from what you leave untouched. I used page 35 of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
My ambition, the great mystery (a poem)
Today’s Writer’s Digest April PAD Challenge prompt is to take the phrase, My (blank), the (blank), fill in the blanks to create the title of the poem, then write the poem. I combined this prompt with the terzanelle from the other day…
NaPoWriMo 2015, Day 20: Knowledge isn’t everything (a poem)
Today’s NaPoWriMo.net prompt is to ‘write a poem that states the things you know.’
Dear Monday…
Dear Monday,
Not the greatest night’s sleep I’ve ever had, but I can’t complain too much. At least the day looks promising…
Love,
Kevin

NaPoWriMo 2015, Day 19: What is a picture really worth? (a poem)
Today’s NaPoWriMo.net prompt is to write a landay. Poetry Magazine describes the landay as ‘an oral and often anonymous scrap of song created by and for mostly illiterate people: the more than twenty million Pashtun women who span the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.’ It is a couplet, with the first line made up of nine syllables, the second, thirteen.
