POETRY FOR 30 DAYS IN APRIL DAY 22

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 22 Prompt today I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that invokes a specific object as a symbol of a particular time, era, or place. Day 22 Poem Black Beauty We are approaching 10 years With me at the wheel and you getting us home The day I brought you home We already were breaking the law Because the salesman forgot To put the registration plate on you You have turned on just about every time That I placed the keys in your ignition And you have seen two others die by the wayside As they could not compete with you Rarely have I ever let anyone drive you Even when, perhaps, I should have Those who have known me for the past 10 years Have seen you by my side every time My constant companion My liberator from walking The wings to my Sagittarius soul I know one day we will be parted You will be stripped of anything of value And I will be partitioned to those who can use a spare lung I hope that we will be together Driving the roads in the afterlife One window open One song blasting the night away One car, one man Looking for freedom On the road Tank full of never ending gas Riding till morning And finally finding home 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.
