POETRY FOR 30 DAYS IN APRIL DAY 17

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 17 Prompt And now, our (optional) prompt. I’ve seen some fairly funny twitter conversations lately among poets who are coming to terms with the fact that they keep writing poems about the moon. For better or worse, the moon seems to exert a powerful hold on poets, as this large collection of moon-themed poems suggests. Today, I’d like to challenge you to stop fighting the moon. Lean in. Accept the moon. The moon just wants what’s best for you and your poems. So yes – write a poem that is about, or that involves, the moon. Day 17 Poem Dropping Trow In the early days Of my rebellion I’d drive around town In the shag carpeted van And on occasion When I’d let one of my followers drive I’d perch up in my captains chair Loosen my pants And plant my cheeks firmly against the glass Aimed at unsuspecting motorists Who happened my way Bathing them in the full light Of my generously hirsute ass While living above a vacuum cleaner store And a poor mans strip club With no less than 5 lesbian couples We would entertain ourselves In my little red clown car Packing as many as we could And seeing who could Cause the most accidents Or receive the most toots from car horns As they would show the world Their nether regions for free Now as a father of two very precocious children I wonder when they beginning the journey Of being driven by chips If they will decide That it’s a good idea To take after their father And plant their glutinous Maximus On the window Just as I drive by 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.
