NaPoWriMo day 4 – 4-4-2020

Hello.  NaPoWriMo wanted a poem based on a image from a dream.  Of course we are not working, so what happens.  Work dreams.


Dream Stream

You are in the dream

With some familiar faces

Plodding around

Some peculiar spaces

It might be work

Definitely not home

Kind of recognizable

But thoughts roam

Doing normal stuff

Banter with the gang

Divvy up the tasks

There are lights to hang

Climbing ladders

You know things aren’t right

It been seven stories

 Still no place to light

Finally arrive at a place to work

But something unusual to note

It’s time to wake up, I can tell,

Holding my tools is a goat.

NaPoWriMo day 3 – April 3, 2020


Hello on Friday, day 3 of NaPoWriMo.  The prompt today asked us to use a rhyming dictionary, like RhymeZone.com.  If you haven’t tried it, give it a chance.  They can be a lot of fun.  So armed with my starter words, and inspiration from RhymeZone, I give you this:

                                                            Construction

Today the construction

    To keep up production

       Requires introduction

          Of pouring concrete

             To make it complete

               They needed a fleet

                  Of concrete mixers

                     To stir the elixirs

                        They use for fixers

                          Standing on a plank

                           They handle the tank

                           By way of a crank

                        The tank must rotate

                      So contents agitate

                   And consistently hydrate

                That’s when a pumper

             Set by the bumper

          Begins the dumper

        Crews with the truck

      Monitor the suck

   To control the muck

The flowing aggregation

                                        Pours on to the formation

                                                                                    And becomes the foundation.

Happy April 2020

Welcome to April and NaPoWriMo.  Though I have neglected this site for sometime, I now have the time, the inclination and no excuse not to tackle poetry for the month, and get myself back into a regular posting frame of mind.  Thank you for visiting, and please enjoy my poem for April 1, inspired by the NaPoWriMo prompt for the day.

 

Two Factor Authentication

waiting for the text

held in anticipation

between the tasks at hand

and those of virtual life

now i get my fix

9478066


the window world drifts by

aimlessly roaming clouds

and determined dog walkers

fill my spiral galaxy of view

while i sit and wait

32051268


the virtual demands

mix with the oddball days.

business from home,

family, friends, phone bill,

some new, some overdue

1236902


but now april, and time for

NaPoWriMo

a stay-at-home opportunity

thirty poems in thirty days

Oh Trying April

April has been as busy as can be.  Maybe next year NaPoWriMo will work out for me.  Until then I have this lament:

The prompt for NaPoWriMo  for the 29th was to write a poem with lines that began with the words “I remember” and see where it takes you.  This is where it took me:

the black fly

After a trip to New England recently, I began to remember black fly season.  Inspiration comes from strange places.
