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.)

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!
