Hi everyone.

This November I will be presenting to you a month of daily poems as memoir, little ditties to tell you about my day or my thoughts during the day, whatever.  Of course I hope you enjoy them, but it’s ok if you don’t.  Just move on to the next blog in your list.

The final day of this challenge, day thirty, is: “For today’s prompt, write a last night poem. Tonight is sort of the last night for poeming in November, but last night could also be referring to yesterday evening. Or maybe you’re referring to the last night of something far off in the future (or in the distant past). Only you know what last night means for you, but make sure you capture it in a poem.”

Finally

Last night
I slept

Not breaking news
except

For when coughing
has kept you

Up night after
night

But

Last night
I slept

Until
just before the alarm

Coughing began again
an alarm

I won’t miss

Day twenty-nine is: “For today’s prompt, take the phrase “(blank) Free,” replace the blank with a new word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Possible titles might include: “Home Free,” “Fat Free,” “Stress Free,” and/or “Completely Free.” You’re free to poem today, but don’t be poem free.”

Virus Free?

Oh when will I be
virus free?

Coughing and hacky
blowing nose endlessly
Can’t hear normally
head pressured exponentially
Sleeping only sporadically

Oh when will I be
virus free?

Day twenty-eight is:”For today’s Two-for-Tuesday prompt:

1. Write a seize the day poem, or…
2. Write a survive the day poem.”

Day off

Survival is
not
the only option

on a day

without work
without worry
without words

Day twenty-seven is: “For today’s prompt, write a remix poem. That is, take one or more of your poems from this month and remix them in a different way. Maybe mash-up two poems into one poem. Or turn a sonnet into free verse, or free verse into a villanelle. Have fun with it.”

Nonsense

I woke this morning
a kitten upon my lap
nose red in the cold

Over the rooftops
is an end to the week, but
I was still dreaming

Someone is coming
all I need, a glass of wine
sickness departing
