Day 5 NaPoWriMo
Today`s prompt challenges us to find a poem and then write a new poem that has the shape of the original, and in which every line starts with the first letter of the corresponding line in the original poem.
Little Papoose
If I were the moon
with a star papoose
in the windy sky
I`d carry my one star home
if I were the sea
with boats in my arms
on this cold morning
I`d carry them
if I were sleeping
and my dreams turned
I would carry you
little papoose
wherever you choose
By Helen Dunmore
Passing Owls
In the dark of night
wide eyed owls
inspired by the stars
ignited by each mind
in the bright blue sea
waves rocking seaweed
over the frothy surface
inspiring ocean life
in the depths of my dreams
away from daily life
imagination thrives
longing for escape
wave to the passing owls!

Day 3 National Poetry Writing Month
NaPoWriMo
Today we`re challenged to make a `Personal Universal Deck`and then to write a poem using it. This i found very time consuming and so I asked my daughter to chose 8 random words.
She chose , crazy, lion, flowers, freezing, wonderful, family, murder and hero.
Family Trip
what a crazy day this has turned out to be
the morning started off with great hopes
though it was freezing, a car trip was planned
we`re off to see lions, bats and antelopes
this was to be a fabulous family trip
the car was warm and cosy inside
while it was murder to even open the windows
no animals, even the flowers decided to hide
thankfully dad was our great hero
he could see we weren`t enjoying the day
he turned the car round and took is to see a film
popcorn, coke and a comfortable place to stay

Day 2 national Poetry Writing Month
. in a world of well known poems, maybe there`s no gem quite so hoary as Robert Frost`s "The Road Not Taken" Today I`d like to challenge you to write a poem about your own road not taken - about a choice of yours that has "made all the difference" and what might of happened if you had made a different choice.
Decisive Kiss
New Year`s eve down the Lion
party atmosphere electric
chattering conversations
music in the background
as the clock strikes midnight
a kiss offered over the bar
received with a smile
the road has been taken!
