Being Real

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Just skimmed over something talking about people being shamed for having gray hair and I commented 

 

Why should anybody be ashamed of being real? The fake ones out there...they should be ashamed of being fake...fake flakes...ha ha

The Magic

Author's Notes/Comments: 

somehow I missed that it is National Poetry Month where the last couple of years I wrote at least a poem a day...I found out yesterday from a facebook memory...have not seen any posts about it anywhere on twitter or facebook...saw that I had written something on the 3,4,5 already and then wrote one yesterday and now one today so I only have 6 more to write to be up to date to catch up on an average of a poem a day as long as I keep writing one a day at least for the rest of the month...the pressure is on...ha ha...woke up with this one in my head early this morning...had to get up to start writing it down and let it keep coming...you know how that goes...

2016 April PAD Challenge: Day 2

By: Robert Lee Brewer | April 2, 2016

The 2016 April PAD Challenge shuffles along to Day 2. Let’s unwrap today’s prompt.

For today’s prompt, write a what he said and/or what she said poem. Maybe he or she said a rumor; maybe he or she gave directions; or maybe he or she said something that made absolutely no sense at all. I don’t know what they said; rather, each poet is tasked with revealing that knowledge.

016 April PAD Challenge: Day 3

By: Robert Lee Brewer | April 3, 2016

The third day of about any new routine is the hardest, including the 2016 April PAD Challenge. Let’s get through this together and own this month of poeming.

For today’s prompt, take the phrase “Three (blank),” replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Possible titles include: “Three Blind Hippos,” “Three Muskrats,” “Three’s Company,” “Three Movies Is Too Many for The Hobbit, Peter Jackson (just saying),” and so on.

2016 April PAD Challenge: Day 4
By: Robert Lee Brewer | April 4, 2016
 For today’s prompt, write a distance poem. As a runner, I automatically think of running when I think distance. But hey, there’s long distance relationships. Or why not get beyond geographic distance and consider distance in terms of time or emotional distance. Or some other interpretation.
