For today’s PAD challenge, I went with the 30/30 prompt “corresponding with ghosts.” Fitting, because today would have been my Mom’s 79th birthday, so ghosts of a sort are on my mind.
I came up with a short poem, inspired by a ouija board, that I might expand on at some point. My one line to share is:
I don’t need a planchette to lead me to you. There are always dreams,
strange and funny. Absurdity is a good balm.
Today I am dealing with a computer crash and trying to recover lost writing and info, so the poem is a bit of a quick dash. I used the NaPoWriMo prompt to write a poem incorporating a regional or personal weather term, and added in the Poetic Asides call for a “lone” poem.
Orphan Cloud
Lone puff of white in a summer sky,
I asked my Mom where are all the other clouds?
She said it was an orphan cloud,
solo and strong,
not lost, but exploring
the big blue,
just as we all do.
