NaPoWriMo - Day 16!

Hi again guys! (I need to find another way to start these blog posts, don't I?) It's day 16, if only technically for me (teenagers stay up late, what can I say?)

Now, the prompt today (the almanac) didn't particularly interest me, because I hate filling out forms, but I did notice one part that interested me, and that was the idea of the alleyway, which I'm going to focus my poem on today.

City Alleyways

Don't go down the dark alleyways
That's what everyone knows.
There's bad people down the alleyway.

Everyone knows a friend of a friend
Who, at night, walked the wrong way
And ended up robbed, or worse.

So I keep to the main streets,
And keep away,
Because I'm sensible.

But then there's others
Who I know,
Who were perfectly fine.

I wonder what makes them so bad.
Sure there's graffiti, and it's dark.
But that's the same as everywhere.

Maybe it's just people
Not wanting to admit
They're being paranoid.

But I still want to be safe.
And I'm still much too scared.
To walk down the dark alleyway.

NaPoWriMo! - Day 15

Hi again! I'm halfway there (exams are next month, ouch) and I'm still chugging along! Today's theme is one of doubles. I don't really have much else to say, but enjoy the poem!

Day 14 - NaPoWriMo!

Hi again guys! Two weeks into April, and I haven't given up yet! I found this theme really hard though. I've never been much of a rhyming person. Thankfully I had http://rhymezone.com/ and that really helped me make this poem, as I had to do a san san, which has quite an interesting rhyming pattern, as well as include the themes. Hopefully I did okay!

Calculating Music

Everything's calculated, a ritual,
Though the music seems free,
Everything is planned, every note, everything.
A ritual of notes that may seem individual
But every note's in time to make a symphony.
The melody that I can never forget.
It makes me dance, leap and spring,
Music that seems free but the notes are set.

Day 13 - NaPoWriMo

Hi again guys! It's day 13 and I'm still doing this! Today's theme is based on fortune cookies... so I guess I've got a confession to make.

I've never had a fortune cookie.

So this is going to be interesting, since the only way I've encountered these are in the Sims 3 World Adventures and the Smosh video where they actually happen. So, let's write a poem!

Fortune Cookie Love

You will meet a handsome stranger.
Well, that's likely.
I've never believed these sweet treats anyway.

The cracking shards that seem to say
Trust me anyway.
Despite the way I never come true.

And yet I still hope,
Still look through the window
As if it'll magically appear.

But the cookie may as well say
You'll see a unicorn today
For how likely it will be.

But then, I see him.
Walking through the door
Trying to be ignored.

The tall and handsome stranger
With brown eyes sweet as chocolate.
Maybe I'll try more of these.

NaPoWriMo - Days 11-12

Hi guys! Sorry I didn't do the poem for yesterday. I'd say it's because I had a lot of homework, which I do, but it's mainly because I am highly skilled in the art of procrastinating. Anyway, let's get to the poems.

NaPoWriMo - Day 10!

Hi again guys! Today I'm going to be doing day 10 of NaPoWriMo, and today's going to be fun, since the theme is book titles! The challenge is to make a poem including titles of books on your bookshelf, which should be fun! Anyone who can guess the authors of the title in the poem wins an internet cookie! It's kind of a short poem, but each line contains a book title.

Dancing Dreams

When we meet at midnight,
Two girls out late,
We look at the bittersweet sky,
And wish upon a lucky star.

And under the light of stars,
We have a summer's dream,
Of wearing ballet shoes,
A double act of dance.

NaPoWriMo - Day 9

Hi guys! Today I'm going to be doing the theme for day 9 of NaPoWriMo, and it's going to be interesting! I have to write something which includes a line that makes me feel uncomfortable, so this is a challenge, but that's what the prompts are for, right?

Immortality

Everyone's dead.
They lie around me
Like leaves of a fallen tree

I never meant to be the last survivor
The only survivor
It was never worth it.

For now, the world is silence
I am alone.
Forever alone.

In the cold, dead world
That's going to end, like the candle that burnt out.
And I'm going to be stuck here.

Was it worth it, to be immortal?

NaPoWriMo - Day 8

Looks like it's another flower theme today! Today, instead of focussing on a garden, I'm going to do a poem about an individual flower.

My Spring Child

My spring child,
You are as bright as the sun in the sky,
Warming the world around you,
And never letting darkness overtake you.

My spring child,
You may be identical,
To the hundreds around you,
But to me, you are special.

My spring child,
Each year you grow but taller,
Brighter, and simply better,
Though you grow older by the year.

My spring child,
My daffodil,
May you never leave me,
As long as spring days come.

Always be my spring child.

NaPoWriMo! Days 1-7

As I said, I'm doing NaPoWriMo, and I only found out today, so I've got seven poems to post today.

I'll try to do as many prompts as I can, but I won't do all of them, simply because some just don't inspire me. I'll make sure to definitely do the structure prompts though.

That said, here are the poems!
