Today's dual prompts: (1) Poetic Asides - write a "night" poem. (2) NaPoWriMo - the good old "look out your window" prompt: spend a few minutes at your window observing, and make a list of nouns, colors and verbs based on what you see, then make a poem from those lists. My result was a bit looser with the word list and a bit more literal with the observation, but here it is:
Harbinger
spring is
late this year
nothing pink
or yellow outside
but my
neighbor's six-foot
inflatable
Easter Bunny
which slowly
and eerily
rises and
falls from a hatched
and decorated
egg
which we
cannot even
ignore after
dark
as it
continues its creepy
slo-mo
peek-a-boo
illuminated
from within
come on,
flowers
please come steal
the show
