#NaPoWriMo Eeyore Acrostic

   

NaPoWriMo Prompt – Today’s prompt (optional, as always) asks you to write a poem about a particular letter of the alphabet, or perhaps, the letters that form a short word. Doesn’t “S” look sneaky and snakelike? And “W” clearly doesn’t know where it’s going! Think about the shape of the letter(s), and use that as the take-off point for your poem.

Good afternoon and welcome to day twenty-three of napowrimo and I decided to go off prompt. It just didn’t seem to speak to me not as much as Eeyore does anyway. And now I’m trying to mess with the formatting to get the letters to line up how I want. We’ll see if this works.

Misery

Gray skies
Blue Wednesday
Class sings Happy Birthday
She’s not invisible today
Eeroye

Good Morning! Welcome back to #NaPoWriMo day four. Gretchen’s birthday is today and despite her gloomy nature her teachers are going to be happy for her. I heard her math teacher said Happy Birthday loud enough for the whole class to hear and they sang to her. Her life as she knows it is over.

NaPoWriMo Prompt – And now for our (optional) daily prompt. Our craft resource today focuses on the use of concrete nouns and specific details, using the idea of “putting a dog in it.” Today, we challenge you to write a poem that is about something abstract – perhaps an ideal like “beauty” or “justice,” but which discusses or describes that abstraction in the form of relentlessly concrete nouns. Adjectives are fine too! For example, you could have a poem about sadness that describes that emotion as “a rowboat tethered with fishing line to a willow that leans over a pond. Rainwater collects in the bottom, and mosquito eggs.” Concrete details like those can draw the reader in and let them imagine the real world where your abstract ideal or feeling happens. Happy writing!

Happy

Birthday
Cake and ice cream
Wish blowing out candles
Party with family and friends
Balloons

The real world is the first poem, but I had a hard time describing a birthday in misery until I thought about Eeyore.

Valentine’s Day

Small Cupid Eeyore
Valentine oxymoron
Sentimental cheat

 

I found this on my pillow this morning. Then I found out my Valentine cheated me. Both girls were given bigger stuffed animals. But my husband knows how much I love Eeyore and said, How often do you find an Eeyore dressed as Cupid.
