Poetry Assignment #2

I think the mark of a good poet is being able to write about anything which inspires them. Letting go and revealing thier true feeling on certain subject matters. The assignment today was to write a poem on a event which happened in the past week.

Here is my poem.

NaNoWriMo

Writing without
Anger or disease.
Without perfectionist
Ideals.

Letting go of the past
Where you struggled to survive

Letting the novel flow
To reach it's final destination

Being ragged around the edges.
Letting yourself be a kitchen.
With flour dust and dough everywhere,
Dirty dishes in the sink.

Reading the business's history
Seeing it mirror the plunge we take
When writing words
For their count,
Not for their
Realism.
