NaPoWriMo 2024 Day 3

And yes, it’s a Wednesday, a cold, windy, rainy Wednesday that wants to be snowing and icing and is trying very hard. Wednesday has been hard, extra hard since 2020.

loose scraps of paper
where’s that wandering notebook
rounding up the words
typing up the words
wrangling words is hard
wednesday is hard
trying to capture
that single moment is hard
fighting the pull of the world
fighting all the time
pushing back stupidity
all the time is hard
putting the lines in order
keeping the beats in line
letting go in the moment
so many choices
where is that paper
where is the current notebook
you go first no you
five then seven five
then let me go first
wednesday is hard

In the good news department, in the past couple days I’ve gotten four! postcards from various friends which, let me tell you folks, is worth the little effort and a stamp! Send mail to everyone you know!

cold wind filled with rain
another few degrees and
winter revisits

morning messy hair
after the second coffee
now it’s afternoon

    May May flowers be worth those showers and you continue to write such fine lines.
