Hello everyone;
I did say "haphazardly" participating in the April PAD Challenge. This is why day one is being posted after day two.
Day 1 prompt of "write an optimistic poem"
Not Dead Yet, Me
Is it really such a tragedy
that my sentences are raggedy
words tread together by similarity?
The conversation is still defiantly
expressions of me.
Is it really such a travesty
that I wander aimlessly?
When I can travel through time so easily
…our life history
…a life lived outrageously.
Is it really such a disparity
that I have forgotten the melody
of your name? Still there’s some clarity….
I know the feelings of family
and passions intensity.
Is it really such an indignity
that something once familiar is now a novelty.
Or that simple tasks escape me.
I still dance to life’s jamboree
and sing majestically.
Is it really such a finality
even as I become more absentee?
There is plenty of life in my legacy.
Don’t bother writing my eulogy,
when there’s still time to create a memory.

Day 13 (Break from your standard writing process)
Breakin’ Norm
Dive right in
don’t meditate
The room too loud
don’t hesitate
The phone is ringing
everyone on tenterhooks.
Rumor’s fly with broomstick swipes
What’s that they say – must be a lie.
A list of complaints:
computers suck
my kid is sick
it’s all to much
it’s all unfair
I’ve had it here.
There is always someone else
to blame.
Too much to swallow
for one more day.
I’m breakin’ outta here.
Whew..!!
🙂
