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 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
Prompt 27 was to take a well known phrase, plug it into a search generator, and find your poem in the results. 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
This prompt was to take on a long poem and re-edit it, basically. You cross out words and make a new poem out of it. I decided to take on the Epic of Gilgamesh, the oldest poem known to man, because I find Sumeria fascinating and because I'm dorky enough to think editing a poem …
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 …
Nanopowrimo 21 comes with a free side order of Crab Rangoon
Today's Nano prompt is to do a one-liner Chinese fortune cookie style. Yay for an easy day. This is getting onerous. I guess that's the challenge, the point of it - to write when you don't feel like it. I would like to dedicate today's poem to a friend who once thought his fortune was …

Nanopowrimo 18 – The end is the beginning is the end
I'm a few days behind here. Life got in the way. It should be in the way tonight, except that I'm exhausted, was out all day, and didn't have the energy to go back out. I had plans, but I'd be sitting (or standing) around yawning if I had gone out again tonight. So I …
