Day 4 NaPoWriMo Acrostic

Acrostic Poetry is where the first letter of each line spells a word, usually using the same words as in the title.

Lonely

Love always seems to be far away
Only know by those who's tales I read
Needing to have a closeness and comfort only dreamed
Each day, waiting, wanting, wishing for love
Let your heart take a chance, a leap of faith
You must reach out, and love, or lonely you will remain

Day 3

Writer's Block

As I sit here tapping my pen,
words and thoughts escape my mind.
What to say, how to say it,
words, expressions, I fail to find.

My paper sits lonely, unused, blank,
wanting me to use it to express and feel.
The keys are cold, unused and stiff,
I think the hamster fell off the wheel.

Day 2 NaPoWriMo Interactive Poem - Guess What It's About...

Guess what is it?

In my fridge, way in the back,
your sour goodness makes my lips smack
I remove the top of your jar with care,
Reach in with my fingers? I wouldn't dare!
Your great with a sandwich, or even plain,
Eating too many could cause my foot pain.
But I don't care, I love you so much,
I might have your brother tomorrow for lunch!

Blogging Again...

I decided that I would join my daughter in NaPoWriMo which stands for National Poetry Writing Month.  The goal is to write 30 poems in 30 days.  Frankly, I can't remember the last time I wrote a poem.  With that said... here we go!

What, No Photos?

I know that I normally post photography,
I'm attempting this task to break the monotony,
Thirty days of poems to write,
Hope my lyrics cause you no fright,
Or my use of spelling and apostrophe.



Hope you like it.
