POETRY FOR 30 DAYS IN APRIL DAY 13

Project Details Hello friend, I am Timothy Kimo Brien, head instigator at Create Art Podcast where we help you to tame the inner critic and create more than we consume. Every year in April National Poetry Writing Month occurs, this is a challenge to write 30 poems in 30 days and comes from the NaPoWriMo site. When you participate you are given a prompt every day for 30 days and you can choose to follow the prompt or not. Each prompt has a commentary with it and a style of poetry that you may not be familiar with. I enjoy it because it stretches my creative muscles and helps me organize my thoughts. I also really enjoy a good challenge. There is also an opportunity to read other people's work as they post on their websites and for you to comment on their work, giving them encouragement or offering a suggestion. Care to join me on this journey? Day 13 Prompt Today’s prompt comes from the Instagram account of Sundress Publications, which posts a writing prompt every day, all year long. This one is short and sweet: write a poem in the form of a news article you wish would come out tomorrow. Day 13 Poem What Tomorrow Brings The morning mist had yet to dissipate Luckily the paper delivery person Had wrapped the Wednesday edition So that only the plastic bad was damp I bought it in for my wife to read Later in the day As I went to work in the basement I could hear her wake up And walk into the kitchen Where I had left the paper opened And ready to read A few minutes later and a few emails ignored I heard her quiet scream She opened the door to the basement And called down for me Disturbed from my work Disgruntled I relented and went up She held the paper out to me With her outstretched arms Telling me to read the headline Tomorrows news today I asked her what was the fuss It seemed to be a stunt, a bit odd For a local paper But then most of them still printed horoscopes She kept pointing at the article And would no say more So I began reading it with disdain As my work now was beginning to pile up The byline had my name Strange because I was not a reporter I was not employed by the local rag So I read further Supposedly I wrote in better grammar than usual That starting tomorrow Which would be Thursday I would be writing Fridays headlines I would not be guessing at the future Rather I would be the gate keeper I promised what I wrote would happen As I would be compiling the news Wednesday night My wife looked into my eyes Pleading for understanding I laughed at her prank And headed back to my den She grabbed my shoulder and turned me round And that’s when I confessed That the work I was doing Was not for the job But because I found a way To see two days ahead But on the day I wrote about I would forget the night before We both decided since the public now knew And tonight I would forget tomorrow That we would up our subscription to daily Just so I would know what happened yesterday Or that day Or tomorrow Reaching Out To reach out to me, email [email protected] I would love to hear about your journey and what you are working on. If you would like to be on the show or have me discuss a topic that is giving you trouble write in and lets start that conversation.
