NaPoWriMo 2024 Day 14

The NaPoWriMo prompt was to write using anaphora, a repeated word or phrase at the beginning of each line of a poem. When I read it ‘don’t forget the rain’ popped into my head and I guess I let it rest there. Been a gray rainy day here in downtown East BeeJeesus and that’s about all there is to report.

don’t forget the rain
don’t forget the rain makes things grow
don’t forget that autumn comes
don’t forget that things dies in season
don’t forget that it gets cold
don’t forget that frost settles in
don’t forget that winter comes
don’t forget that snow covers the garden
don’t forget that everything is waiting
don’t forget that everything is waiting
don’t forget that the world will warm again
don’t forget that spring will come again
don’t forget the rain.
