A whole quarter year has passed in this Twitter Poetry Challenge. So I guess I’m not feeling as excited about #NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month) as everyone else is. But I did add it to the tags of my Twitter poems for good measure. I also gave myself a break on Wednesday (day 90) because I was feeling so tired and burnt out that I couldn’t remember what day it was (hence two poems appearing as ‘Day 88’ when the haiku should be ‘Day 89.’) I’m sure this was no great loss to poetry…
Thankfully, my #APoemADay friends picked up the baton, and the words continued to flow. I always promised myself I’d take a break if I didn’t feel up to it. Also we have just entered another lockdown here in Slovenia so I have the kids at home and am trying to juggle home schooling, housework, etc with all my writing. Here’s what I did manage to write this week:
Apologies for the bad formatting of the last two poems. If you click on the individual tweets and view in Twitter they are formatted correctly.
Wishing you a happy weekend of poetry!
Ingrid
Good job, Ingrid!
Ooof. to that. It’s tough!
BTW, I like Day 87 the best this week 🙂
Shabbat shalom,
David
Thanks David: that was dedicated to you, Tricia Sankey and Ren Powell 😊
Brilliant. Great poems. Especially day 86. Good luck in the lockdown.
Thanks Vinny!
Just to be awkward, day 85 got the vote from me and my four legged pal.
Nothing awkward about it: obviously different people like different things!
Good stuff
Thank you!
I am compassionate to hear of your struggles this week, but the momentous occasion of each time you put your pen to paper (metaphorically), is a piece of courage you continuously exercise as a writer. <3
Another lockdown! No wonder you are weary. And yet, beautiful, strong, and hopeful words. (K)
Thank you Kerfe: it is difficult to resist the charms of the spring 😊
congratulations Ingrid!!! I started with my daily meditation writings which went by the wayside 2 months in which I replaced with daily gratitude cards.
I’m impressed and applaud your determination. Happy poetry month!!💖
Daily gratitude cards are a good idea. Sometimes I have to write them in my head when I wake up in a bad mood!
We give birthday wishes out loud or in a cup silently and then pour them over your head.. always your choice; love you do that! 💖
That’s sweet! So long as there’s no liquid in the cup 🤣
lol!!! you got that right!
good idea!!!!!!
