Dear Thursday,
After reading the news, sometimes I think the only thing holding the world together is that it is on the verge of falling apart.

National Poetry Writing Month 2021, Day 14: The Kevin dilemma
My Day 14 poem is my response to the NaPoWriMo.net prompt, which involves writing a poem ‘that delves into the meaning of your first or last name.’ Ugh. This is all I have to say:
Dear Wednesday…
Dear Wednesday,
You kind of snuck up on us, didn’t you?
Love,
Kevin

Dear Tuesday…
Dear Tuesday,
Y’all are still starting out a bit chilly, but I will say you do warm up eventually.
Love,
Kevin

My Day 12 poem is my response to the NaPoWriMo.net prompt, which involves writing a poem using at least one word/idea/concept each from Lempriere’s Classical Dictionary and the Historical Dictionary of Science Fiction. I chose ‘Lusitania’ from the former and ‘completist’ from the latter.

National Poetry Writing Month 2021, Day 10: Survey
My Day 10 poem is my response to the NaPoWriMo.net prompt, which involves following the instructions to poet Hoa Nguyen’s ‘Junk Drawer Song’. I did follow all the steps, but chose to include all three of them in my finished poem. The song I chose as my focus for the first part is David Sylvian’s ‘Do You Know Me Now?’
