NaPoWrimo - Day 9

The prompt for day 9 was to write a 9 line poem. Out of all the 9 line poetry forms I chose the magic 9. It has no rules relating to meter or to subject matter. It does however, have a rhyming format: A B A C A D A B A.

The Perfect Day

My perfect day is framed with books

and numerous delicious safe hugs

from a man with good looks.

Of course, this man is mine to keep,

and besides being cute, he cooks

for me when I cannot be bothered.

But back to my perfect day of reading in cozy nooks,

fluffy socks, pajamas and coffee filled mugs

aah, a day without mooks, just books, nooks and lovely good looks.

NaPoWriMo D9

The prompt today was to write a poem in which something big and something small come together.

This shall pass too

When I was young I was larger than life

My body occupied every corner in the room,

every eye on me: I was the sun, the moon, the stars

my tears were the oceans of the world, their coming and going kept this world alive.

One day I was running away from the spikes on people’s mouths

it was one of those days in which I had reached the limit

I had had enough of cleaning my body from their slime,

so I sought refuge in the only place they would not go after me—the library.

I found a brown leather armchair and I fused myself to it,

and here I was dreaming of invisibility when a book fell on my lap

and it became my passport to the rest of the universe

this was better than invisibility, with a book I could disappear.

Because as I read, I shrank to a wee cluster of molecules

and then to a wee cluster of atoms

floating in one of eight planets

which lived in the milky way galaxy

which had billions of cousin galaxies

in this unfathomably Big Universe.

and I was at peace, for I no longer was a God

but a fluff with perspective.
