NaPoWriMo in honor of the Banana Boys:
Have we lost all sense

As a piece of yellow fruit
Chased by a monkey?
Oh the strange lines that emerge as I attempt to get something written every day. SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "NaPoWriMo 26", url: "http://ericscorner.com/2008/04/26/napowrimo-26/" });

Is to take the tarnished,
Copper kettle
From the upper shelf,
Add tepid water and
Apply his passionate heat,
Cause temperatures to rise
Create conversions of one
Substance to another
Where the ordinary becomes
The
Extraordinary
Though the days have passed with little said here, much writing has been accomplished amid the myriad of state testing ...

I was going through my library this past weekend and I cam across a collection of daily meditations of Thomas Merton's writings. The quote for April 13 was as follows:
If we take our vulnerable shell to be our true identity, if we think our mask is our true face, we ...

Well, this post actually includes days three through 12 as well. I have been writing an average of fifteen to twenty lines (or more) each day though it has only culminated in six and a half poems. Does it still qualify for NaPoWriMo? Sure why not...I am still writing each ...

culmination anima
Red leaves of ancient Oaks
Flutter restlessly in autmnul breezes
As the erubescent sun
Reaches with florid arms
To embrace and kiss
The evening Star

Day one of NaPoWriMo has arrived and with it a piece that is an attempt, slight though it may be, of poetry written in prose form. I'm not certain where it will lead (if anywhere) or what I may do with the punctuation, but here is my offering to the ...

April is fast approaching and with that comes National Poetry Month. Some think it's good, some think it's bad. My opinion is one of semi-ambivalence (though if it works to get more people reading, it scores a few kudos).
With National Poetry Month come the annual NaPoWriMo. A poem a day...that's ...
