NaPoWriMo: 30 NEW Writing Prompts for National Poetry Month 2011

18. Write a poem about something small that is only 5 lines long... OURS IS...

Delicate winged furry

with colors vivid and bright

all the tiny hummingbirds
sipping nectar in the light
so fast their wings are blurry

YOUR TURN

Today is O

WOW O already !! going by fast isn't it ... OURS IS...

OVERNIGHT

Overnight the weather turned

from Winter into Spring

just like that flowers bloomed

and birds began to sing

It would have been a perfect day

for the conditions were just right

but my whole world changed

unexpectedly overnight

It was an awful feeling when

your hand slapped my face

when loving emotions overnight

with hurtfulness were replaced

The darkness then surrounded

all of our happiest days

and overnight I wanted you

to die in very unusual ways

I thought of deadly ways

to make me feel much better

and overnight I hoped that

you were gone from life forever

I never thought of the consequence

of what my hopes would do

or that my hateful hurtful thoughts

would ever really come true

Then overnight my world of love

was forever changed by fate

for you were taken overnight

into heavens golden gate

Now Spring has lost its meaning

though it is still a beautiful sight

It will never take away the hurt

of what happened overnight

YOUR TURN
ENJOY
