Hello, Poetry People. After yesterday's long, drawn-out prose poem answering the Proust Survey, I opted for a short and sparky Haiku today.
Today's April PAD Challenge prompt asked for a Persona poem.
Today's NaPoWriMo prompt asked poets to write a poem that involves alliteration, consonance, and assonance.
Alliteration is the repetition of a particular consonant sound at the beginning of multiple words. Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds elsewhere in multiple words, and assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds.
I needed a persona promptly, so I chose a chunk of charcoal and penned a volcanic (or at least fiery) verse.
There will be no sitting back basking in the glow of my cleverness, however. I need to edit the story I'm submitting to Dragon Soul Press for their fairy anthology. I need to begin composing my query letter and selecting which poems I'll submit to the Soul Ink 2 anthology. I am also planning on releasing a drabble memoir for your 60th birthday next year, so I want to lay the groundwork for that.
It can't be my 60th birthday coming up. Therefore, it has to be yours.

Everything old is new again.
Except for this car.
It's just old.

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.
