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

Dear Tuesday…
Dear Tuesday,
Now I’ve got the Cal Worthington jingle stuck in my head.
Love,

New sounds: All these events took place at night
Closing out March a couple days early with a set of nocturnal sounds.

Dear Monday…
Dear Monday,
I appreciate the sun, but how about turning up the heat a bit, eh?
Love,
Kevin

Dear Sunday…
Dear Sunday,
Surprised to be so awake so early. I predict a nap in my future.
Love,
Kevin

Dear Saturday…
Dear Saturday,
This movie has quite a cast. How come I’ve never heard of it before?
Love,
Kevin

Dear Friday…
Dear Friday,
People: the cause of, and solution to, all our problems.
Love,
Kevin

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
