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…

Musings
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.
Dear Sunday…
Dear Sunday,
Good morning, o Sunday! So many possibilities—how shall we spend the day?

Open mic terzanelle #1 (a poem)
Today’s NaPoWriMo.net prompt is to write a terzanelle. After three attempts, I kind of like it, though I have not quite hit upon the right subject for it yet. In any event, this poem is my second attempt at the form.
NaPoWriMo 2015, Day 16: Science poem (a poem)
For Day 16, I went with the Writer’s Digest April PAD Challenge prompt, which was to write a science poem…
