NaPoWriMo 2016: Catch up!

April Fool's Lune

Upon this fool’s day

Truth that lies

Best to stay away.

Family's Portrait 

A family is more than blood--

A bond,

A love,

A devotion

To something greater than yourself.

A family is a theatrical production--

Imagine the director is the mother,

The stage manager a father,

The actors are the children.

A family is a network of like minded people--

Writers meeting to share words,

Artists meeting to mix paints and collaborate,

Or to gather and share their worlds.

A family is what you hold most dear,

From fathers to directors

And everything else in between,

Stronger together

Weaker when apart.

Hold yours tight.

Mr. Poe,

I read your words,

Out loud,

everyday.

They are so good!

I am inspired by you.

Wanting to become a poet because of you.

Did you know how much I enjoy saying

“Quoth” the Raven when I read THAT poem.

In fact, my favourite poems are

The Raven and Annabel Lee.

Did you know that?

I bet you didn’t as you are pretty busy writing cool poetry

And creepy stories.

See, I wrote you last moth asking what the deal was,

I mean with the poem, The Bells,

Are you a little obsessed with bells?

The jingling,

The tinkling?

REALLY?

You didn't write back, but I'm not mad.

Its very repetitive, but still catchy as I am still singing it to myself, three weeks later.

Where do you come up with the ideas for your poems?

I am usually trying to write poems about plastic spoons,

unrhymeable planet names,

or my cats.

I can never seem to write anything that people want to read,

So how do you do it?

Looking forward to hear you answer.

Meanwhile trying to write a poem right now,

Something like El Dorado.
