Na/GloPoWriMo Day 30: Final Challenge, try your hand at a minimalist poem. What’s that? Well, a poem that is quite short, and that doesn’t really try to tell a story, but to quickly and simply capture an image or emotion
Day 29 of Na/GloPoWriMo 2019 : Today’s challenge is to blend these concepts into your own work, by producing a poem that meditates, from a position of tranquility, on an emotion you have felt powerfully
Maybe
if I smile more and dress in pasty oatmeal colors
and hold open doors
and let everyone else pass through
and thank them for the chance
to serve them, to help them, to be there for them
One day I will fit in.
Maybe if I walk slower
and think slower
and give up my favorite spot
under the shady tree where me and my dog rest
after our long walks
and scuttle and hustle behind everybody else instead
