The January 23rd prompt in The Daily Poet, by Kelli Russell Agodon and Martha Silano, is to write a poem that either uses the title of a Salvador Dalí work as the title, or includes four items from a list of titles of his work. I ended up doing both.

Dear Friday…
Dear Friday,
This is already starting out well. Now I want to see what else you have in store.

Upon waking up from the dream in which I’m running around the house honking like Felix Ungar, scaring away the beautiful woman in the Morticia Addams dress in the process (a poem)
The January 22nd prompt in The Daily Poet, by Kelli Russell Agodon and Martha Silano, is to write a two-line poem with no more than thirteen syllables in each line, then give it a title that is either really long or just one word.
Dear Thursday…
Dear Thursday,
Woke up too early this morning. Again it’s coffee to the rescue…

Grandpa’s pipe (a poem)
The January 21st prompt in The Daily Poet, by Kelli Russell Agodon and Martha Silano, is to ‘focus on taste, hearing, scent, and touch’ instead of on sight. I diverged from the prompt after that, going back to a childhood memory instead of noting things throughout my day…
Dear Wednesday…
Dear Wednesday,
Ay, it be frosty this morning! Good thing there’s coffee…
Love,

50/calmer (a poem)
The second week of the HoneLife eight-week Winter Poetry Challenge invites reflection on 2014, with a series of questions followed by directions on how to use the answers to those questions.
Dear Monday…
Dear Monday,
I had some decent dreams overnight. Next time, remind me to write them down before I forget, okay? Thanks.
Love,
Kevin
