napowrimo #15: Badly Writing Poetry
Categories: napowrimo

If we are gonna to talk about me
writing poetry
We have to discuss the ways
I stall.

I keep writing day after day
trying to make that
first stanza work
after all.

Working on today’s prompt
realizing I’m not so sure
Will it stay upright or will
it fall?


(April 15 Challenge, which I fully admit to not putting my heart into because I just couldn’t find a way to enjoy it, and I’m in that sort of mood today.)

Off-prompt poem for today: Les Noirs de Montreal
