Dropped the plot for a few days, but I was watching Moonage Daydream last night, and this is what came out. So I’m off prompt, but back for Day 30:
Day 30
National Poetry Writing Month 2022, Day 30
My Day 30 poem, based on the prompt at https://www.napowrimo.net/day-thirty-8/.
National Poetry Writing Month 2020, Day 30
I went with an alternate prompt for Day 30: ‘Make a found poem from some of the lines you wrote in your NaPoWriMo poems. Use at least 8 different poems and write a poem at least 10 lines long.’ Each line of this poem comes from earlier poems. Continue reading
National Poetry Writing Month 2019 Day #30 (pt. 2)
Here is my Day 30 poem using the napowrimo.net prompt: Write a minimalist poem. I did that yesterday, but I can do another one for today. This one marks the ascension of the new emperor in Japan on May 1st.
National Poetry Writing Month 2019 Day #30 (pt. 1)
Here is my poem for Day 30 using the POETRYisEVERYTHING prompt: Pick out four lines from the last 29 days; incorporate them into a poem that reveals something most people probably do not know about you.
I took this one further—this poem consists entirely of lines from poems I have written over the last 30 days.
National Poetry Writing Month 2019, early-bird poem
For this early-bird poem, I followed the napowrimo.net prompt—sort of. Instead of a self-portrait as a historical or mythical figure, I made myself the figure in a photograph I took in January 2009 of a man standing in a graveyard.
National Poetry Writing Month 2018, Day 30
For Day 30, I went off-prompt, as they say. Instead of the Napowrimo.net prompt to engage with a strange fact, I opted to go with the prompt posted on Chris Jarmick’s POETRYisEVERYTHING blog, which involves writing a poem of 8 to 12 lines, with the odd-numbered lines being borrowed from poems I have written over the last 30 days, and the even-numbered lines being new lines written for this poem, with at least one of these new lines including something blue. I made three attempts at this; I couldn’t figure out which one I wanted to post, so I made this a three-part poem and used all of them.
National Poetry Writing Month 2017, Day 30
My Day 30 poem for National Poetry Writing Month uses the prompt on Napowrimo.net—to write ‘a poem about something that happens again and again.’ Continue reading
NaPoWriMo 2015, Day 30: Who will I wake up to be? (reversed) (a poem)
The napowrimo.net prompt for the last day of National Poetry Writing Month 2015 is to either write a poem in reverse, or take a previously written poem and reverse the order of the lines. I will want to come up with a better title for this one, but I worked with the weird dream poem I wrote a few days ago to create this one… Continue reading
