I am the narrator/widow and Medea from Euripides’ most powerful & best-known play, Medea, is the remarkable and ruthless revenger. Enjoy.
For today's prompt we're challenged to write a variation of an acrostic poem. But instead of spelling out a word we're to write a poem that reproduces a phrase. How fun, right? See what you think, dear friends. xoxo
Mythical creatures doing something unusual. Hmm. I went with Boreas-- that's the Greek god of the cold north wind and the bringer of winter. And here, I'll tell you why winter still lingers past his welcome. Enjoy.
The poet Mathias Svalina from instagram is on to something big with his surrealist prompt poems. Silly, maybe, but I like silly. Check it out to find examples. Perfect for Day4 of NaPo. Yay!
A glosa, dear friends, its a Spanish form I'd never heard about before. I think I like it in this prompt that doesn't make me stick to the traditional 10 lines. Please enjoy.
I hope you enjoy these facts about April, the giraffe that lived and died so far away from home. Happy April, everyone.
Day 2. Yay! My chosen word is Déjà vu from the thread under Haggard Hawks' top thirty tweets of 2021, and fresh out of having one of mine published I pulled that one out, tweaked for the prompt to present to you here today. Enjoy.
Day 1 of NaPoWriMo was difficult. But here we are and I hope you like this. Asking you read between the lines.
An early bird special prompt, one day before the big day. Thanks for reading my take on Emily Dickinson's "one line."
My form of choice today is Haibun. I hope you enjoy it. I declare World Peace-- scroll to the bottom to read why. I wish you miracles.
The best of times, our lovely long-distance relationship was. A time of patience, & that beautiful art of letter writing made it all a worthy romantic time I savor. We still have the letters.
A famous 1899 painting by Edgar Degas of Russian Dancers. The criteria we used to choose this painting relies heavily on current events: Putin’s war in Ukraine-- he is at war, not the Russian people. They are not to blame for what’s happening. End the war, now. I declare peace!
