THE END OF THIS STORY

THE END OF THIS STORY ISN'T HERE YET
AND I CAN'T REMEMBER THE BEGINNING
THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT I CAN'T FORGET
WHO KNOWS WHAT THOSE MEMORIES MAY BRING

2021 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 29

For the 2021 November PAD Chapbook Challenge, poets are tasked with writing a poem a day in the month of November before assembling a chapbook manuscript in the month of December. Today's prompt is to write a next poem.

For today's prompt, write a next poem. While this may literally be the next poem you write, it doesn't need to be about the process of writing a poem. It could be about the next love, next job, next meal, next adventure. Whatever you're doing now, think about what's next and write about it.

I'M ALWAYS RUSHING

I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO SLOW DOWN

AS SILLY AS THAT SOUNDS

I'M ALWAYS RUSHING ALL AROUND

THE PRESSURE SURELY MOUNTS

2021 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 28

For the 2021 November PAD Chapbook Challenge, poets are tasked with writing a poem a day in the month of November before assembling a chapbook manuscript in the month of December. Today's prompt is to write a slow down poem.

Well, there are only three days left in this year's challenge. Wish time would slow down, but there's nothing I can do about it. Or is there?

For today's prompt, write a slow down poem. That is, write a poem about slowing things down. Or write about something that helps time slow down for you. Another option is to write about the friction between the fast life and the slow life.
