Poetry Prompts and Inspiration April PAD Challenge and NaPoWriMo Day 21




Today's prompt from NaPoWriMo asks participants to read Sarah Gambito’s poem “Grace," then choose a word from their list of abstract nouns to use as their poem's title. They also suggest including at least one invented word. I invented two words, because I'm an overachiever like that.

I chose one of the nouns for the title, then used all of them in my short, sharp, choppy poem about, you guessed it, anxiety. Because my anxiety has damn near done me in this month. 

I opted to leave the April PAD Challenge prompt for another day because it asks participants to write a six-word poem. The NaPoWriMo list by itself contained more than six words.

I hope you enjoy this German prog rock from 1977. I also find it makes a great soundtrack for writing my epic novella about Captain Sammy's treasure.

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.
