National Poetry Month

In honor of National Poetry Month, I will be writing a poem a day. 
Warning: this will NOT be pretty - 
proceed at your own revulsion/ridicule rate.
It usually takes me months, sometimes a year to write a poem.

April Fool, 
(written on the 1st)

You were the main attraction,
but the film broke.
Now you're a horror flick,
with limited engagement.

Nausea Vu
(April 2)

I've seen you before, 
or someone like you,
or someone like someone like you.

  5. STACEY - You should try your hand at this. You do have a way with words.

    STANDING - If I can post mine, so can you. Click on THIS to feel inspired about photography.

    JONAS - Maybe if I take longer, they'll be even worse.

    JUNE - It was you and Sarah that inspired this, so 'shame on you.'

    S. ETOLE - Glad I could give you a chuckle. Happy Easter to you too.

  6. You're too harsh on yourself, Kasserole. Those are both poetry. I'm not poetic and I'm not writing poetry - I don't even feel inadequate for that, either - but I know it when I see it.

  8. I've tried the odd poem and i might try again before the month is out.

    Your efforts here are nothing to ridicule. They're inspirational and if you hadn't put them down in advance I doubt that anyone here would be critical.

  13. I'm an awful poet, but the thrill of writing it keeps me going.

    I'm new to your blog & love your side bar, the Lamott quote, Oliver quote, etc.! Mmm, sweet!

    DAVE - I rather like the idea of 'having' you.

    JULIE - Thanks. Coming from you, that's quite a compliment.

    P.J. - Nausea vu is usually reserved for repeatedly bad restaurant food, but it works for people too.

    KRISTSA - EVERYTHING is your specialty.
