Already having trouble (National Poetry Writing Month)
Argh. Tried to start a poem for Saturday three times on Friday, getting nowhere. I did make some progress on the Bizarro piece, and I know how to do the T'chaka piece (in my head, at least). Anyway, enough "coming attractions," let's make with the "biff" and the "pow" already ... Mocking cursor blinks
Glowing white rectangle waits
Come on, words, come out!
"Deadline"
by Hannibal Tabu Maybe T'chaka tomorrow. No promises.

Hit the ground running ... (National Poetry Writing Month)
As I posted yesterday, it's National Poetry Writing Month, and I'm a masochist, and I'm involved. Starting off with a haiku or two (one about the wife tomorrow, I believe) is a good, easy start. Here's the one for today.
April Fool's Day today
Temptation for whimsy high
Might claim I'm pregnant
"NaPoWriMo 2010: I've Got A Bad Feeling About This"
By Hannibal Tabu They can't all be sparkling jewels, kids. I've been doing non-stop fiction for months, I may take some time to warm up but I am in the game here, people!
Carry on.

This is probably a terrible idea ... (National Poetry Writing Month)
... but tomorrow is the start of National Poetry Writing Month, which I did last year (and forgot until I saw Nikki Blak's blog about it earlier today.
Last year, I started six days late, wrote thirty poems and nearly killed myself. This year, I have a newborn baby and a job that's been ramping up the stuff they need from me. Will I be taking this year off?
What do I look like, some kinda pansy? Of course not!
So, starting tomorrow, right here, THIRTY DAYS, THIRTY BLOGS, THIRTY POEMS! Believe it!
Yes, I plan to do lots of tankas and haikus. I make no apologies for this. I have a few ideas I didn't get to last year -- a poem from the perspective of Bizarro that my dawg Craig suggested, for example -- that will be longer pieces. But they all have to be newly written. No "breaking out an old poem that I wanted to work on some more" -- if anybody has ever heard it, it's not going down.
If I'm alive in thirty days, we'll all be lucky. Let's go!
