Dear Thursday,
Who knew insomnia could actually be useful?
Love,

National Poetry Writing Month 2019 Day #4 (pt. 2)
Here I use the napowrimo.net prompt: sadness through simplicity. I also opted for directness.

Here I use the prompt provided by poet (and bookstore owner) Chris Jarmick on his blog, POETRYisEVERYTHING.
I’m never a fan of this type of prompt (anagrams), but I did it anyway.
Saint Kevin (a poem)
I’m reading Saint Genet, Jean-Paul Satre’s biography of Jean Genet—although calling it a ‘biography’ is a stretch. So far, it’s more of an existentialist analysis of Genet than anything.
Dear Wednesday…
Dear Wednesday,
I’m still waiting…
Love,

Here I use the prompt provided by poet (and bookstore owner) Chris Jarmick on his blog, POETRYisEVERYTHING.
This prompt involves threes. This is what I did with that:
Dear Tuesday…
Dear Tuesday,
Is it coffee yet?
Love,

National Poetry Writing Month 2019 Day #2 (pt. 2)
Here I use the napowrimo.net prompt: to write a poem that ends with a question.
National Poetry Writing Month 2019 Day #2 (pt. 1)
Here I use the prompt provided by poet (and bookstore owner) Chris Jarmick on his blog, POETRYisEVERYTHING.
This prompt is basically the same as last year’s Napowrimo.net prompt for Day 18. As I did then, the poem I used for my line-by-line backwards response was ‘Ophelia’ from Janée J. Baugher’s book Coördinates of Yes. This time, I stuck more closely to the line structure of the original poem while writing, though I edited and revised according to my sense of the internal rhythm of this new poem.
