| April 1, 2013 uncertainty: the wind whips but the sun shines the fingers freeze but the heart is heated as I think of you am i a fool? a failure? or an unfortunate finder? who still seeks solace? forever have faith that it will be that what it should be at a time when the universe is aligned all ducks in a row my time is now shake out the creaky fingers look into my heart find all I need you are there #napowrimo #poetry #poem #day1 #30day30poems #poetrychallenge |  |
 | April 1, 2014 Dance of Life Billions of barely visible - and, even then, only with a Very Powerful Microscope (or a VPM) - Smaller than small dancing circles Make up life. They circle and dance And divide and live and die And change or die And LIVE LIVELY; they dance together and become greater than one tiny circle; More alive and afloat, armed with allies in this Awesome dance. |
| April 1, 2018 Live Life Embrace who you are No need to hide away Take time to play Wander, but not so far Fresh air and change of view is great but you must be able to come back when ready for a snack. Try stuff you used to hate. You never know. You always grow. Avoid overload and that nasty blue crash screen Refresh, recharge, reset - Rest. Don’t be mean. Never apologize for being you - Unless you hurt another’s feelings in your day to day dealings. Fix it. It’s what you must do. Do what you gotta do to get by in this place - Crush candy, binge watch, meditate, exercise, create, medicate - In this crazy world, at your own pace. Live life freely. Live life sweetly.

Day 0 & 1 -- Day Zero prompt -- Portrait Poem --
https://www.napowrimo.net/ -- (not fully edited)
Unmasked - a monster with 2 heads
a living contradiction
crave order but cannot maintain it
want precise & neat space but struggle--
chaos reigns not good enough
can’t quite ‘get there’
get things done? need a schedule!
but too strict what a conflict!
like wanting to take my time & be perfect but
not having the attention span to…
It’s like 2 brains of 2 people in there
& 1 signs me up for more than the other can deliver
unique & creative outlook on life
hard worker & good with details
big picture, quick connections
can see to the heart of things
when I’m outside the box
(because I don’t even know where the box is)
and safe in my own space
I can create intricate plans & get shit done
Nicola brain is very logical & controlled
wants the ducks lined up in a row
mask held tight (they all thought I was green AND so organized at work)
Miss Nikki brain is ‘Yay! Just do it do ‘all the things!’
Hey, where are my ducks? What ducks?!
It is an exhausting tug of war
I am a slave to my own brains &
it’s so tiring & I can’t quite sleep
with all that noise
hey guess what? I interrupt constantly overshare
spin tap & fidget where is my favourite rock?
hum & utter while I look
oh I found that book
amongst lost keys, missed appointments & a cluttered home –
nay it’s piles of ideas!
pardon me while I appear inattentive
distracted by balls of chaotic thoughts
bouncing around inside my skull, behind blue eyes
retreat to untangle
didn’t always like myself
being so weird so quirky
that Freaky girl from mars --
trying to blend into the wall
or thinking about how strange I am
as I try to chat & sound normal
now I don’t want to be like other people.
I may be odd but I am also clever fun & unforgettable
with age comes wisdom - or simply less fucks to give -
finally found the right people & job
becoming the me I was always meant to be
a living contradiction — unmasked
