Local prompt: death.
I love doing this even if a bunch of the poems are, um, crap. Enough of the others are workable that I keep working on them! Or save something from them. And a bunch of them from past years are now out there in the world, having gone through enough transformation that I often forget they originated in this April celebration!
Sigh...
So, a semi-sweet sort of nostalgia is already upon me.
If you need some more sugar, we've got lots of sweets over at the TweetSpeakPoetry blog. We're playing at creating found poems.
ReplyDeleteI don't yet tweet
ReplyDeleteBut it sounds real sweet!
Congratulations on getting through an entire month of poetry. I got a bit waylaid by other things to try it this year, but here's hoping next year will be a more focussed one. I'm not really a poet, but I find trying to write some really bad poems a good thing to do.
ReplyDeleteSemi-sweet is sometimes more delicious than sugary sweet.
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested to see what you make out of all of your great material!
Oh, yes, I tend to prefer semi-sweet!
ReplyDeleteI'm such a 'chocoholic' that I've snuck a piece of bakers chocolate from our cabinet and my wife was not too happy with me. She says that bakers chocolate is bitter but I just like the taste of chocolate. Tis the type of chocolate I would get when a little person back in my country of birth. Don't be a 'hater'.
ReplyDeleteTonight, to console myself, bereft of poetry month as I am, I shall eat dark chocolate with crystallized ginger. Which almost compensates for the end of poetry month.
ReplyDeleteAs an observation, kudos to choosing a bag of Nestlé semi-sweet chocolate chips as this post's photo because said bag has a silhouette of a chocolate chip that appropriately looks like a doo.

Semi-sweet doo does indeed describe some of my April poems....
