This 3rd week was even more challenging as I tried not to repeat themes of prior weeks; I want to keep the reading interesting and hope to appeal to a diverse audience.
Day 15 - I wrote a sonnet called "Sonnet For My Cousin." I followed the rhyming scheme as closely as I could with sometimes employing near-rhymes such as rhyming "trend" with "experience." I hope that readers enjoy the flow.
Ahead of the curve, always on trend
Wanting to try a dining experience
Seen in one of your favorite Netflix series
When friends would eat at a restaurant.
Day 16 was a struggle and I had a hard time starting to write so I thought of going to paint. Then I came across my unfinished Artwork and an idea emerged.
I think the poem captured my mood. Share your thoughts?!
Day 17 - I had received a flyer for the Winterfest Boat Parade in Fort Lauderdale. It had already passed but I was like a drowning person clutching at anything and why not the boat parade. Although I didn't go, I am familiar with the route from taking the Water Taxi before so I dreamt with words of the spectacular board parade. Read poem here!
Day 18 - I decided to use one of the prompts that the National Director of the 30/30 Project had suggested in a prior communication. It was an interesting experience and I hope readers are receptive.
Day 19 - I really struggled on this day so I used another of the prompts where I had to write a poem about pictures on my phone. Considering I use my phone for reminders such knowing where I parked, it was another interesting experiment. Read poem here!
Day 20 - It's my birthday so I decided to write a letter to my favorite poet. I hope you enjoyed it!
Day 21 - I was wasting time again, watching YouTube when idea struck. Write limericks about dumb criminals.
