There are things I am
only when I do them
There are things I am
even when I ain’t
#NaPoWriMo day 9 and I’m having a really draggy morning – even when that word doesn’t exist. All words didn’t exist before they came into being. Even though I like the prompt on NaPoWriMo.net (“we challenge you today to write a poem in which something big and something small come together”), I’m not in a writing mood.
This is the second short poem that came from the day 7 prompt (identities, conversation). This one is about the difference between being and doing. I shared the first one yesterday. (Yesterday, all my poems seemed so far away, now it looks as though they are here to stay, oh I believe, in yesterday – See? Here’s why I’m not writing a poem this morning, my brain is having a life of it’s own at the moment).
Also, I’d like to feature Clairvetica today, with her day 8 poem called Jetsamina. I love it’s original subject mattter, and it suits my mood today: it’s about a spirit that lives in the greasetraps in the drain.
Unassorted stories 
Thanks for the linkup! I think sometimes it’s good to just leave it when they don’t come and wait for the return of the muse 🙂
I think I should leave everything today, my brain is in combat mode!
Hope the mood changes over the day. 😊
Short poem, but lovely.
I need to get into the doing phase more!
Short, lovely, concise! And very true. I hear you re: brain on combat mode. Mine has been refusing to make an appearance *at all*.
I know how that feels. Your painting captures it too. (K)
Thank you!
