NaPoWriMo, Day 5:
Kurt Cobain's Lie: Oh, Daddy, I wonder if IT'S the way it is, and not BETTER because you were afraid TO let your past BURN free and let your own child OUT... Would you have been freer THAN you ever were TO be loved? Your barely visible image continues to FADE. My world would have been better if you hadn't gone AWAY. |
NaPoWriMo Prompt: Today I challenge you to write a “golden shovel.” This form was invented by Terrance Hayes in his poem, The Golden Shovel. The last word of each line of Hayes’ poem is a word from Gwendolyn Brooks’ poem We Real Cool. You can read Brooks’ poem by reading the last word of each line of Hayes’ poem! (In fact, you can do so twice, because Hayes, being ultra-ambitious, wrote a two-part golden shovel, repeating Brooks’ poem). Now, the golden shovel is a tricky form, but you can help keep it manageable by picking a short poem to shovel-ize.
Extra Bonus Poem (Yesterday's Prompt, a Lune, which is a form of the Haiku - 3 words, 5 words, 3 words):
Eensy peensey pieces
cut out from a magazine,
What'll it be?
