My ego and I
Kingdom of the wicked
An ordinary life
The idiot brain
– A short history of nearly everything
But otherwise no panic
Cakes and ale
Despair is temporarily over
(supported by For Whom the Bell Tolls)
When I read the boek spine poem Little Learner posted, I knew I wanted to make one too. It was a prompt on dVerse, the online poet’s pub. It makes me off prompt for napowrimo.net, where describing fruit was the suggested prompt.
Unassorted stories 
EXCELLENT! Wasn’t that fun? And what an interesting poem you created! Love it!
I identify with that second stanza especially. (K)
Me too I’m afraid 🙂
I especially liked this line: “Despair is temporarily over”
That book is not translated in English. It’s by a famous contemporary Belgian writer, known for his cynicism and typical sense of humour.
I now notice I mistranslated! It should’ve been panic instead of despair. A Freudian slip I guess!
Please ignore everything I write, I confused two titles. The panic one is from a Belgian writer. The despair one from a Dutch poet.
What a great mix and insightful, wise arrangement. This is so much fun!
I like the mix up you have! It works!
Thank you!
CAKES AND ALE. I absolutely support this with a huge yawn! ❤
🙂 🙂 🙂 Thanks, I needed that, even though it’s been a good day.
Wonderful and I really like that dedicated comment at the end, “(supported by For Whom the Bell Tolls)” Clever.
Thank you!
Cakes and ale… you had me laughing at that (especially supported with “for whom the bell tolls”)
Excellent! This is such a creative prompt. When I saw one of these, I wanted to write mine too and I did, but didn’t know it’s for dVerse too. Now I see that I posted mine before dVerse chose it as its theme. I hope I can still link there. (Mine was for Day 17.) I’m especially grateful that you translated the Dutch titles. 🙂
(Three hours too late there… But I’ll be able to go and see everybody else’s, yeah!)
Love your last two lines. Certainly works….temporarily!
Cakes and ale definitely sounds like a solution to me! Thanks
