NAPOWRIMO 2013 #1

 

THIRTY PIECES



Internet headlines announce 'Thirty Pieces'
QWERTY releases from poets who blog
Log on to enter your daily instalments
All meant in fun, but it's old news to some
But old news like no news, is good news, we think
As we sink to our knees in search of our muse
Abused and neglected, rejected, deserted
We flirted and hurt it, and left it behind
We find it's designed to frustrate as we wait
Hesitate at the gate, before entering in...

And that's when the unanswered questions begin...

Like have we been duped...? Is this how it was meant to be...?
Is this the scoop of the twenty first century...?
Plenty verse entry...?
Pages left empty...?
Who's gonna tempt me...?
We'll see...

    WoW! I was singing along to this one!! I think you should write Repeat at the end.

    Perhaps a line of repeats at the end, each one holding its own space, marching down the page. Sounds like you've been here before? Glad to see you and really liked your for real description about what is to follow this month,

    Stan, I enjoyed the flow of this. Nice to see you poeming in this crazy month of April. You should, (if you want to that is) come over to Barb's place that she is providing for napo. Invite Andy also, as Miz Quickly says "the more the merrier".

    This is my second try at this. Really like your title and the reference to just what this month might cost. Agree with Andy, but think you might like an entire row of repeats marching done the page and of into infinity, lol. Thanks for your visit,

    I love the rhymes! It does seem lyrical, and a nice introduction for the month ahead.
