The wonders of modern science: This week Virgin Galactic had its first successful flight. And, we figured out how to package cardiac arrest in a single serving. I wish there was a site that offered news in haiku form. Hm ... Reblog:

Nanopowrimo 30 – This is the end
The final prompt is to take a short poem and write its opposite. Seemed right to close out with a nod to Jim Morrison, so I picked one of his poems to cross the finish line with. Thanks to all who followed along and liked my words.A demon walks Thru the endless darkness Thru the …

Nanopowrimo 28 – Color me … purple
Prompt 28 wants color. Purple is the shadowed glade the cast of twilight Purple is the darkest thing that black cannot hold purple is the moon I know in fragmented dreams my room my school the color of my birth Purple thoughts scrawled in red and blue But the violets blaze against the grass …
Nanopowrimo 25 – Oops. Out of order
I missed number 25. There was a prompt, but I'm just going to use another haiku cheat card. I watched Room 237 the other day. Interesting. I sort of think one can find conspiracy theory and riddles in anything if you look hard enough, but it was interesting to see some of the nuances and …
Nanopowrimoo 27 – Moo

I picked 'The Cow Jumped Over the Moon', which is spoofed hilariously on the Highlander Bloopers tape.Beloved childhood inspired by the moonWorld of wonderA season to learn the Importance of light Of riddles …
Nanopowrimo 26 – Gilgamesh

Nanopowrimo 24 – Anagram
Today's prompt was an anagram. They provided linkage to a nifty anagram generator, which I might use for character names. I like playing with language. I like the rhythms of names and the connotations held in syllables, the meanings we don't know we know. When I write a character, the character is never 'real' until …
Nanopowrimo 23 – Triolet
I'd never heard of a triolet, so here's my first. And probably my last. In the darkest moments the world falls silent And the wild things claim the hour Claim the quiet for their own In the darkest moments the world falls silent And the wild things claim the hour There are things not meant …
Nanopowrimo 22- Earth Day
We honored her once We respected her limits Appreciated her gifts But in this age We rape Drain Starve Poison There is only one planet There is no sense to such carelessness As creature after creature winds into extinction Is it any wonder the world has gone mad? We will never know peace until the …
