It is National Poetry Writing Month again! My Day 1 poem is inspired by the animated video for Sun Ra Arkestra’s ‘Seductive Fantasy’, as directed by the prompt.

Egon Schiele’s Self-Portrait (1911) (a poem)
My warm-up for NaPoWriMo 2021 is this ekphrastic poem based on Egon Schiele’s Self-Portrait (1911).
Dear Wednesday…
Dear Wednesday,
As usual, March comes and goes, doesn’t bother to stick around…
Love,

Surprised to be so awake so early. I predict a nap in my future.

Thursday night, again (a poem)
Because it occurs to me that there is a connection that I have pushed so far to the back of my mind that I don’t remember what it is.
Dear Thursday…
Dear Thursday,
What’s the password?
Love,
Kevin
