NaPoWriMo Day Seven: His Song

i'm not hungry

nor lost in the memory

saying your name

my lips name

no thirst no pseudo hungry

just the memory

tender stabbing memory

the taste of your name

it sounds hungry

the name in my memory leaves me hungry.

Today's prompt was to write a tritina. And since I was writing tercets anyway ... Collom Lune! (and yes, I totally said that in my head in Gru's "lipstick taser" voice. )

I want tacos for breakfast, but I don't want to go make them. I'm thinking about just having taco fixings always at the ready, just for taco emergencies such as these.  And in case you didn't see, the NaPo prompt today was to write about food.  Anyone want to bring me a taco? I'll be your best friend!

Blah! I am feeling a little burned out today. It seems early in the month to dread coming to a prompt. Maybe it just that it's Monday, and the weekends wear me out. Today's prompt was to write about the cruelest month. Blah+burned out+NaPo prompt=COLLOM LUNE!!!!!!!!

NaPoWriMo Day Three: Hovering

i am
your biggest fan
hovering over the
line between admiration and
obsession.

So for day three, the prompt is to write a fan letter. Sometimes I worry that I am too much of a fangirl of whatever or whomever holds my attention.  (This is one of those times that I don't like that I lean so much to confessionalist poetry.) Also, I am totally one syllable over regulation for a cinquain.

Today we are writing a family portrait.  Once again, I have chosen to write a Collom Lune because I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! Be sure to check out the NaPo site and have fun getting your poem on!

Woohoo! It's time for NaPoWriMo! And we're starting off with lunes, which, you may remember are my most favorite form! I chose the Collom Lune for which is a tercet with word counts for each line. Lines one and three have three words and line two has five. Happy poeming y'all! (Also so counting this towards my Camp NaNoWriMo word count. All the words! Yay!)

A Quatrain For Your Birthday

and I hope it's full of cheer

avoid drinking skunky beer!

Okay, so I am really rusty on the quatrain front. This one did make me giggle, though. I hope my friend has an awesome birthday today and many happy returns!
