#NaPoWriMo 2019–Day 10–Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that starts from a regional phrase, particularly one to describe a weather phenomenon. You may remember one from growing up
Things
Things lost
Things broken
Things we’ve found
Things of beauty
Things chosen in haste
Things we’ll treasure forever
Things we let go to slip away
Things broken by their use or misuse
Things left behind, forgotten, unwanted
Things dreamed about yet never received
Things dreamed about that we’ve achieved
Things we never wanted but got
Things that rose up like weeds
Things we kept to appease others
Things we threw away
Things we’ve loved
Things we miss
Things lost
Things
Etheree/Reverse Etheree
Declaring today my Deserving Day
I am gifting myself abundant joys
Giving those worries and woes away
Declaring today my Deserving Day
Claiming bliss and joy mine to display
As negativity my heart deploys
Declaring today my Deserving Day
I am gifting myself abundant joys

What do you deserve? Name it. All of it. What are you ready to let go of? Name that too. Then name the most gentle gift for yourself. Name the brightest song your body’s ever held. Summon joy like you would a child; call it home. It wanders, yes. But it’s still yours. —Rachel McKibbens
#NaPoWriMo 2019-Day 7-Prompt: Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem of gifts and joy. What would you give yourself, if you could have anything? What would you give someone else?
I came
Like a soft breeze,
Silent, barely felt
By the mighty world around me.
A seed
Blown in by the wind to settle,
Unnoticed, until it
Grew up and brought life
To this place.

#NaPoWriMo2019 Day 3–Prompt write a poem involving time. This maybe a bit off Prompt but i thought it seemed to fit.
My inner self asks me
“Do you know the meaning of life?”
“Do you know the why of it?”
I ponder each step I take
“Where am I going?”
“Is my life a symphony?”
“If so, who conducts?”
Then suddenly The Word speaks
And I know, do you know also?
Choka
“So easy
That a child can do it.”
I struggle.
Frustrated,
I admit my inabilty.
I am not a child.

#NaPoWriMo Day 1 Prompt: write an instructional or dis-instructional poem
Miss Moody March marches merrily
Away again as April approches and
Rises, returning resplendently radiant
Cancelling cold, creating colorful, cheery
Happy, hopeful habitats. Hallelujah!
Acrostic
A slip of the tongue
Brings heartache if
Careless words are spoken and
Damage can be done to a tender heart.
Even if you apologize and ask
Forgiveness theres no
Getting the words back once they’re spoken.
Honestly, words can be like arrows that
Inflict pain if they are
Judging words, but if they are
Kind words, spoken in
Love with true
Meaning and compassion behind them,
Not only will they do good, but they might
Open the door to end someone’s
Pain, or help someone
Quit a bad habit.
Remember to think before you
Speak, and
Try to always choose
Uplifting words that will bring
Victory into someone’s life, for
Words are powerful!
X-ray each one for harmful effects before
You speak it, for we all need to be
Zealous to make sure our words are good.
Abecedarian
Be a day dreamer,
For its been said that
Those awake
Can achieve!
Dreaming with eyes wide open
Can be dangerous!
Shadorma
All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. — T. E. Lawrence
Twas a day of mish-mash
A bunch of skimble skamble
Nonsensical stuff
