@Camp NanoWrimo





It’s the first day
Of the next 31 to come,
The stories in my psyche
All race to get the lead.
I choose one to be penned.
For the August camp
@Camp NanoWrimo

Emotions bristle
Finding some rare corners
to start the marathon
that shall go on forever.
To touch some life, somewhere
I’ll add: it all began
@Camp NanoWrimo.

I’ll indite 50000 words
of a new life, a new world
They follow a trajectory
of love, life and loss.
My protagonist talks of her plight
While I enjoy the drive
@Camp NanoWrimo

The usual talkses go on
Till it’s late at night
I advise we bid farewell
To unite again in dreams
And none shall falter
Till we gather ‘round the gleam
@Camp NanoWrimo.




[It said, "Think of new ways to introduce poetical flair into every day examples of writing: the diary, the memo, the “to do” list, the email." This is a new form I've tried with the sign '@Camp NanoWrimo' at the end of each stanza.]

[Vice Versa gave - Follow/Lead & Usual/Rare]
[3 WW gave - Emotion, falter, touch]

  4. I like the way the repeated line makes this poem hold together. It was a good read. My head swirls at the thought of 50,000 words. Way to be brave!
