I don't know about you but I've been dry, dry, dry since the April poem marathon!
Tardiness
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
I sat down to write a poem
then popped up to turn
the dishwasher on, instead.
I came back to the computer
then remembered that I wanted
to paint a journal page.
Afterwards, I poised my fingers
over the keyboard
and typed, “Tardiness”
then made the broken line
underneath. A ding
alerted me to new email
that I just had to check
right away. I noticed
that the ivy was drooping
so got up, again, this time
to water the plants. Finally,
here I am writing this non poem.

Love the link to "Linda's Stuff." This is a perfect poem for me to read this week because I have been suffering from writer's block and procrastination!
How liberting...to write a poem about not writing a poem! Now why didn't I think of that?
Nicely done.
I did not sign up anywhere for napowrimo. But I did write one poem a day. I think Andy inspired me in a way.
You know I like non-poems, unpoems, poemettes, and half-a-poems!
