Day #28 - X is for Xylophones and X-cellent Writing Prompts

I am going to write a haiku using the Letter "X" for today's blog. X is a harder letter to find something to blog about. Unless you like X-men, which I do. SO, I will also write a lune using X-men.

Xylophone's Song

Hear the echoes rings

As the mallets dance upon

The xylophone keys.

Mutants Abound

Those with power

with either lightening or magnetism

Saving the day.

Today's NaPoWriMo prompt is a bit harder than I thought. I had to take a News Article to write a poem, using the words and content of the article. Click the link to see the article I used. I don't feel like this is my strongest poem, but I tried, Dear Readers.

But, I did it! I can say that I did it. It was a challenge and for that, it was worth the time I spent time writing it.

Netflix Stands For?

Executives,

You won’t see

But higher fees on the rise.

A new battle of wits

Between Netflix

And Comcast.

It begins,

The battle for the Internet.

Prices and

Rights and

Ease of connecting.

The battlefield—

It’s the Internet

And has fought many a battle

over the last few years—

Now it’s Net Neutrality

And the behemoth of Comcast

Merging with Time Warner.

What will the future bring,

To the waste land of the Web?

Where those weaker

Than the mighty

Force their will, like some sort of

Tyrant Lord

Taxing the poor,

While he gets richer

While the rest still have to pay

To be able to Log on.
