Thanks for the support – NaPoWriMo2013

Just a quick note to all but especially to Tram, Johnny and Alice… THANKS! for being my cheering section for that crazy 2.5 hour ride.

While this month didn’t go at all like I had hoped for the NaPoWriMo challenge, I did in fact make it 30 in 30… though as y’all know the last 15 were a crunch.

I appreciate all the comments, encouragement and hanging with me through this last blast. I hope you enjoyed the ride. I’ll bounce back through and comment on comments, hopefully over the next few days…

 

THANKS AGAIN!

Hope the rest of you found something in there that you liked :D

 

 

Peace and g’nite,

 

Stephen

Two more to go – Poem – NaPoWriMo2013

Two more? 7 minutes… really??

Two more to go

What to do what to do
How will I ever get through
Will I make it to the end
Will I piss off all my friends

Filling their inbox with trash
Will they start to bash
My poems here at the finish
Will be like eating spinach

For Popeye that might be ok
And others may say hurrah
But for now my time doth diminish
By golly I just need to finish

I hope the count is right… 4 minutes to write one more and get it published. Thanks for putting up with some of these :D

Touch – Poem – NaPoWriMo2013

Touch

When was the last time you reached out
Grabbed a loved one by the hand
Not with any intention other than cause you can

When was the last time you looked at them
Held their eye for just a bit
Telling them you love them without moving your lips

When was the last time you passed them
Touched a shoulder or a thigh
Or gently patted their head on the way by

Touch is so important, especially on “off-beat times”
Reach out when they’re near you
Let your hearts intertwine

Journey – Poem – NaPoWriMo2013

Journey

 

Do you see where you are on your journey
Do you only look five feet ahead
Are you thinking about your future
Or holding a gun to your head

Is it smoking or stress maybe gluttony
Or something less obvious still
Do you feed your sorrow with hatred
Or your venom on others spill

Do you work to nurture your inside
The outside will oft follow suit
Are you living your life looking forward
To a future you have built

And the poet speaks to himself once again :D

tic toc – Poem – NaPoWriMo2013

Time is running out

Tic-toc
goes the clock
Johnny’s scratching his head

Less then an hour
And wouldn’t you know
My internet connection went dead

It’s pull out the air card
Connect it all up
And hope that more words can be said

Losing count
Losing time
In 35 minutes I can go to bed

Encouraging words
I think were said
Were I west coast there’d be more time ahead
