NaPoWriMo 2013: Day 21
Today is a day when there’s nothing to say
nothing to write, nothing to bray
nothing to vent and nothing to moan
nothing cry out, nothing to groan
nothing to laugh about
nothing to figure out
nothing to show
nothing to grow
nothing to say
today.

NaPoWriMo 2013: Day 18
I want to write something about Eli
quintessential second of two
I want to write something about Eli
but he’d never demand that I do
I want to write something about Eli
if his sister would stop all this chatter
I want to write something about Eli
but I’m running around like a Hatter!
I want to write something about Eli
he’s deserving of some of my time
I want to write something about Eli
just one sentence, one story, one rhyme
I want to write something about Eli
how his smile’s full of mischief and mirth
I want to write something about Eli
maybe tell you the tale of his birth
I want to write something about Eli
how it’s so different having a boy
I want to write something about Eli
but I’m too busy tripping over his toys!
I want to write something about Eli
the two-year-old young Houdini
I’d like to write something about Eli
but I’m hearing his, “Carry you me!”
I’d like to write something about Eli
but he wants me to run, jump, and play
So I guess that a poem about Eli
will be written on some other day.
Carrots, celery, sprinkle cheese, thyme
taco shells, cheerios, batteries, lime
baby wipes, oranges, pepperoni, rice
ginger beer, dobi, shampoo (anti-lice!)
sandwich bags, veggie sausage, sippy cups, towels
alphabet soup – but hold the vowels!
Seedless grapes, pitted olives, lactose-free milk
don’t forget the apron made of silkworm-free silk!
Being a domestic god(ess) has its perks,
but let’s be clear, the truth is it’s a lot of work!
NaPoWriMo 2013: Day 10 (prompt was an un-love poem)
What do we do with a wordy writer?
What do we do with a wordy writer?
What do we do with a wordy writer?
Early in the morning!
Cut out all the crap and make it tighter.
Cut out all the crap and make it tighter.
Cut out all the crap, please make it tighter.
Early in th morning.
What do we do with a passive voice?
What do we do with a passive voice?
What do we do with a passive voice?
Early in the morning.
Figure out the action and make a choice.
Figure out the action and make a choice.
Figure out the action and make a choice.
Early in the morning,
What do we do when it all just stinks?
What do we do when it all just stinks?
What do we do when it all just stinks?
Early in the morning.
Rip it up, toss it out, let it sink.
Rip it up, toss it out, let it sink.
Rip it up, toss it out and let it sink.
And get yourself a drink!
