NaPoWriMo: 30 NEW Writing Prompts for National Poetry Month 2011

27. Write a poem made of ten metaphors.

 OURS IS ....







He dances in the darkness
with music playing in silence
tunes from the future beckoned
he lies in the past of his dreams
buying a moments lingering breath
she grasps for his fading shadow
diving in a pool of tomorrow
to set aside the grief of happiness
all the while knowing nothing still
she lights up the floor with darkness


UMMMM... not too sure if I did this justice...

Today is W

 

Well to day is my 48th birthday !!!

so not knowing what I'm going to write

Here we go ....

 

WRINKLED

 

When I was born

I was pink and wrinkled

wiggling into my parents hearts

 

When I grew into my teens

I wrinkled my nose, thinking

 it would attract a certain boy

 

when I was in my twenties

I spent hours in a hot bath

until I came out wrinkled

 

When I was in my thirties

I couldn't stand it at all

if my clothes were wrinkled

 

Now here I am in my forties

and every time I look

I'm getting more wrinkled

 

Wonder what the next forty years will bring !!

 

YOUR TURN
ENJOY
