#NaPoWriMo: A Poem A Day – Day 21

Posted on Posted in AmWriting, Poetry Tagged with ,

Hi everyone! Today is day Twenty-One of the national poetry month competition. Two-thirds of the way through, already!

Here’s my offering >>>

DAY  TWENTY-ONE:

[Instructions:] From NaPoWriMo Day Twenty-One … Write a poem in which you first recall someone you used to know closely but are no longer in touch with, then a job you used to have but no longer do, and then a piece of art that you saw once and that has stuck with you over time. Finally, close the poem with an unanswerable question.

A Set of Haikus

 

 

intimate we used to be

shadow stalked constant

’til I shone light on you—shame

 

a hat, dress, and uniform

don’t forget the mask

nurse’s emotions hidden

 

the picture you painted stuck

changed my entire life

though only words in a book

 

from birth we commence a course

but never do know

do we live or do we die?

 

 

I hope you enjoyed my efforts to address these questions poetically. Have a wonderful day, everyone, and I’ll see you tomorrow with Day Twenty-Two on the NaPoWriMo 30 Day Poetry Challenge 🙂
