• Chapbook Fever

  
  Musings from the Newly Hatched — Authority: 115
  I have chapbook fever…but not the way you think. Fever in that I am lackadaisical, listless and unmotivated. Lying on the sofa, watching Law and Order fever. Being excited about work and not poetry fever.  Wondering how to blog about poetry fever. But I made a commitment to Sonya that I would select the poems ...

• It’s Nothing

  
  Musings from the Newly Hatched — Authority: 115
  I am borrowing (stealing?) from Jerry Seinfeld today because I am writing about nothing. I have nothing to write about, except to tell you that I had the same dilemma after the last 30-day poetry challenge. When my poetry brain takes over, my blogging brain goes on vacation. I have a vague memory of being able to ...

• A Message from Your Sponsor

  
  Musings from the Newly Hatched — Authority: 115
  Oh, what a nice mini-vacation. No poems. (Although I did see an amazing sight last week that I want to write about – please don’t let me forget!) But next steps are in order – a chapbook.  I must admit that I’ve threatened to do this before and…uhhh…I didn’t follow through. But this time I have ...

• Nov 30 09: A Crowded Heart

  
  Musings from the Newly Hatched — Authority: 115
  Finally, I am finished – with the November Poetic Asides Poem a Day exercise.  The past few days have been difficult; I’m not sure why.  If it’s because I hit the wall, I wish it would continue, but if it’s because I’ve written what needed to be wrote (yea, I know this is wrong), well, then I’m done ...

• Wanted: No Name

  
  Musings from the Newly Hatched — Authority: 115
  I have been so blocked on this prompt! Pick a number, make that number the title of your poem, and write a poem. Again I changed the title, and maybe the poem isn’t so number-y either, but I started with the number one.   And one is appropriate – one more poem to go.   Wanted: One lost and missing thing, ...

• Nov 28 09: Desert Dreams

  
  Musings from the Newly Hatched — Authority: 115
  I’m feeling a bit sad. Today is the last day of my vacation, and I feel the weight of Monday. And my dream last night was powerful: I had a job I loved, but complained and blew an assignment.  Message? Shut up and do it. It’s one I needed to hear – not pleasant, but important. This poetry month has been that ...

• Nov 27 09: Riddle

  
  Musings from the Newly Hatched — Authority: 115
  A day late! But here just the same, in response to a prompt about shapes . What is it?       Riddle   S is the indent in my bed, The curve of your knees and hips. N is the cave in which you lived, The darkness never shared. A is the tent in which we dwelled, An Arab’s fantasy. K is my arms ...

• Nov 26 09: Wonder

  
  Musings from the Newly Hatched — Authority: 115
  Today’s Poetic Asides prompt was “ to write a thankful poem,” not surprising on this day. I like my mother’s new version of our greeting – “Happy Giving Thanks Day.”     My sheets are worn and clean;  I feel your back pressed warm to mine. And in your breath I hear the ocean swell. I wondered ...

• Nov 25 09: Low-grade Normal

  
  Musings from the Newly Hatched — Authority: 115
  Well, clearly I’m re-entering my horror phase, if that’s the correct word. I’m not sure it is, so if you can name it, please do.  I have two past poems I consider to be of this ilk: one in Literary Mama and another in Scalped , as well as yesterday’s and some other unpublished work.  Something ...

• Nov 24 09: Fangs and Thorns

  
  Musings from the Newly Hatched — Authority: 115
  The title of this poem should be “Nobody says don’t do it,” which was my inspiration for Fangs and Thorns . Today’s prompt was the Tuesday Two for One, and one choice was to use a phrase that begins “Nobody says…” for the title. But it isn’t powerful enough for this piece.       He brought me ...

• Nov 23 09: Staving Off Sleep

  
  Musings from the Newly Hatched — Authority: 115
  Staving Off Sleep comes from the Poetic Asides prompt that ask us to write a poem about noise. I’m an introvert and a HSP (who has learned to cope quite well), so noise is a big issue for me. I need isolation frequently to recharge and can be overstimulated by activities that most people find boring.  But ...

• Nov 22 09: Storm

  
  Musings from the Newly Hatched — Authority: 115
  Today’s prompt asked us to write an emergency poem. As usual when presented with a prompt that could go anywhere, I dried up.* But not so dry that I couldn’t write about a storm. Haiku-style. *It’s my vacation. It’s sucking the imagination out of me. And it’s so worth it.     strong winds drench old ...

  Musings from the Newly Hatched — Authority: 115
  Vacation! Staycation! Or as my Canadian friends have told me – Balconyville! No excuses for not writing prolifically, except I’m so busy doing nothing, ahh… Today’s prompt (Aren’t you tired of this yet? I promise to write something different when this month is done.) is to write an invention poem . I was a ...
