April PAD Challenge/NaPoWriMo 2022 Day 14



Good morning, Poetry People. For your musical inspiration today I'm sharing Claude Debussy's Trois Nocturnes. This doesn't mean you must write about the night or the number three. Simply let the music help you to your lyrical destination!

I wasn't quite awake yet on my first crack at this post. I've since inserted hyperlinks and added the post to the Make It Happen Thursday roster.

As the Curtain Draws Closed

Prompts used

Write a poem that takes you to the opening scene of the movie of your life

Write a scary poem

The "scary" aspect of this poem is subtle. I fear dying a failure with unfinished business. But everyone can help me temporarily succeed at not being a failure...


by picking up your FREE copy of Another Autumn today thru April 18.

It's free--what more do you want?


I'm considering updating the book with some illustrations by me. This is either a fabulously creative idea or a really horrible idea considering that I'm not a very good artist.

That's about all the damage I can do around this pop stand for now. I'm hoping that perhaps I can get a little writing in on Cosmically Bonded. Sometimes when I'm involved in one of these immersive poetry months my fiction writing falls on its face, which distresses me.

I just had either a really great or a really awful idea for next year's A to Z challenge. I haven't taken part in the A to Z challenge in four years because it's always one thing too many. But since I own the rights to all of my work, what if I published one of my poems in alphabetical order every day along with these helpful prompts? I could even start the drafts of the posts now and add the prompt part next year. Now that's an idea I can get behind!

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
