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

NaPoWriMo: 30 NEW Writing Prompts for National Poetry Month 2011

26. Write a poem to your future self, but do not say it is to your future self, address the poem to a president or rock star.... OURS IS ....

A complete unknown

Your fame came late

yet you're in your prime

we knew you had 'it'

from way back in time

now everyone knows

what we knew all along

your beauty and strength

they're singing your songs

just look at you now

how much you have grown

now known by millions

not a complete unknown

Well we can always dream...tee hee hee...

YOUR TURN

Today is V

Vers Beaucoup is an enjoyable form that was created By Curt Mongold on the FanStory site.

The easiest way to explain Vers Beaucoup is that it is a 4,3,3,2 rhyme format with no more than three words PER RHYME. A lot of people get thrown off by that one It can have less, but no more than three. OURS IS...

My Prince Let us start at the part, when cupid's dart,
hit his heart with a thud, no blood,
just a flood of feelings true,for two
love was new, now it's found
he's duty bound

From tower tall, he looked small, heard her call,
gave his all, was no good, it's understood,
no one could reach her there, maiden fair,
moonlit hair, cant be denied
that he tried

He showed power, climbing the tower,clutching a flower
in that hour of the night, such a sight,
showed no fright, untill he saw a dragons paw,
great big claw, then he fell,
straight to hell.

Today is U

OURS IS....

UPWARD

When I'm tired of life

and feeling so low...

I look upward

When happiness surrounds

my heart and soul...

I look upward

I raise my hands

and sing in praise

for I know I am

in His loving grace

When my weakness shows

from all of life's woes...

I look upward

When my end is here

I'll have no fear...

I'll look upward

I raise my hands

and sing in praise

for I know I am

in His loving grace

YOUR TURN
ENJOY
