Last year, I used Adi’s blog to make my NYR. Let me account for the results:
I wanted to take part in NaNoWriMo again. This one was a great success! Not only did I participate and won, despite of all the trouble I was into, what with me travelling and being off from my laptop, [...]
Poetic Asides Wednesday prompt is “turn around”. Oh, and it’s a shadorma… (I hope).
*
Turn around
Discover grandeur
Back in town.
The glamour of it
Filling the pretentious sway
Turns around.

Here are some poems Orange wrote during her life of main character in my new novel “Orange Lemonpie of the First-Year Stars” which I wrote during NaNoWriMo this passing month of November. I still have some work on it, yet the frenzy is over.
Chapter VI
You see that carpet on the ground,
Which makes [...]
My Word Wizard, who I follow on Twitter, gave this prompt: write a Form poem. Here I give it yet another try at the very nice and neat form of Shadorma. In short, its rules: 6 lines, length of lines is as follows – 3, 5, 3, 3, 7, 5 syllables.

In all things done and then undone
I’ve walked, and looked and waited, too
In truth believed, then un-believed,
For I was seeing and un-seeing you.

“How long will you love me?” they often ask,
“You always say that Love is forever.”
“Love IS forever,” my answer is clever,

a slow down/never slow down poem

Take your time and save
your breath will thank you for this

a pro- poem

Pro-Pasta
They say, “Pasta’s bad for your health”
I say, “Pasta’s great for my mood”
They go, “Pasta ruins your diet”
“But then I am nice and quiet”
Eating T-bones and steaks is barbarity,
Civilised pasta and bread is calamity.
So, is health what we crave, or felicity?
Is truth more [...]
a “looking for —” poem.
Looking for forgiveness
When you’re at the end of the road
It’s somewhat late for forgiveness
You don’t give it up,
For you can’t give it up.
What more can you hope for -
But the final remnants of you
To get cleaned
And stupefied
By the illusion that forgiveness [...]
