NaPoWriMo2014, ,Day 4:

How this Poem came to be: #TinkerSketch prompt was Aluminium Foil. So, I drew on the foil with my Poster Paint Crayon Sticks. I tried to draw my cat, but I ended up drawing a fox. Then I remembered the Oulipost Blog Prompt, Day #3, which was to pick a sentence from a newspaper article, and replace each significant word with its dictionary definition. (I choose the book, based on the viral You Tube video, What Does the Fox Say? and this is what I got! - Yeah!

Unrequited Love, Reciprocated

Imposing sad colour of the clear sky,
Scrutinizing judgment,
pretentious and of Great Importance.
Magnanimous, even.
The part that beats and the part that breathes senses you near reach,
Pursuing earnestly, seeking persistently,
with the intention of a silver fox alluring his mademoiselle.

#TinkerSketch Prompt --> Draw to Music
SO I played a little Dittie on My Beautiful Piano (simply because I couldn't decide what music I wanted to draw to)....

Creativity Charm

Make some music make some noise
Forget about neighbours forget about poise
Blow a whistle bang a drum
Guitar or ukulele go ahead, strum

Get up and dance move your dancing feet
It's all good says Blue Cat Pete!
Move like a kid give it a whirl
Skip, hop or even twirl

Get some paper any will do
Even an old receipt that you already threw
The sky's the limit get out your pens,
Crayons can give your soul a cleanse

NaPoWriMo, Day 2:

I think I will base my poems on my doodles & sketches from @Tinkerlab's Instagram Doodle-a-Day Challenge. I also incorporated @Idearoom's Instagram Photo-a-Day prompt. Things just sort of come together. Today, I read a story to some Kindergarten kids & there was an owl in it. I also did some yoga with 1/2's & we were trees. Then we danced. Oh, how we danced! (It's called DPA, Daily Physical Activity.)

Doodle-a-day #tinkersketch prompt --> White on Black (Materials used: Black poster paint crayon, white-out, crayon, and yellow poster paint crayon stick.)

Shine

Ta wit ta woo, ta wit ta wee
I wonder what is looking at me?
The night is black.
There's no going back.
I hear strange stuff,
I've had enough.

But which way to go?

Whooooo!
Who's there?
Whooooo!
Whoooo whoooooo?

No one
Just me &
A billion glowing eyes flickering

A clearer picture now,
eyes adjust - theirs on me, not mine -
in the moonlight I can clearly make out invisible beasts,
lined
up,
in
wait,

waiting for me to let go of my guard and get me - as if!

Boo! says something.
Woo! says another.

Okay, I say,
I'll do it that way:
I'll hoot & howl,
Boogie & Woogie.

Not afraid, see!
Oh, no, not me!

NaPoWriMo, Day 1:

The story of my poem:

Last night, I watched, 'Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey.' (* a Super Cool show - see bottom for more about this.) Today happens to be April 1st, the beginning of National Poetry Month and the NaPoWriMo - 30 poems in 30 days Challenge. I came across 'alliteration' at school (I am a supply teacher). My Instagram Doodle-A-Day Sketchbook challenge by @TinkerLab is Circles. All of this came together to serve as my 'prompt' for Day 1.

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.
Rough Drafts -->

* About Cosmos:
Like the legendary original series by Carl Sagan, Cosmos: A Personal Voyage, it is the saga of how we discovered the laws of nature and found our coordinates in space and time. Hosted by renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, the series will bring to life never-before-told stories of the heroic quest for knowledge and transport viewers across the universe for a vision of the cosmos on the grandest scale. It will invent new modes of scientific storytelling to reveal the grandeur of the universe and re-invent celebrated elements of the original series, such as theCosmic Calendar and The Ship of the Imagination. The most profound scientific concepts will be presented with stunning clarity, uniting skepticism and wonder and weaving science with the emotional and spiritual into a transcendent experience.
