The NaPoWriMo prompt for today is to write a poem that poses a series of questions. The PAD prompt is to write a remix poem. These should work well together. It’ll be interesting to look back through this month’s poems and see which questions spring to mind.
My Janus for the A to Z challenge is the letter X which can mark a spot, or delete it.
Heightened Senses
What sense would I heighten if I could?
Which sense is the villain of my story?
Which smells trigger my memories?
Are they pleasant smells or foul odors?
What color tints my vision?
What do I see in the clouds?
What is this ringing in my ears?
What voice do I hear in the dark?
Which word tastes best in my mouth?
What flavor was the glue?
What texture represents me?
Why do I step on broken glass?
How far do I want to see clearly?
Which frequencies would I choose to hear?
What are the tastes I would enhance?
Could there be a dial for only pleasant smells?
If I sign by the X and everything would be as soft as Levi,
would I heighten a sense if I could?

I like how you incorporated all the prompts into this artistic poem of philosophy.
I love letter X posts! Always such variety.
It’s hard to believe the alphabet part of the blogging challenge is over for 2021. Down to the after survey, reflections, and the “road trip” sign-up.
Plus, I’m taking part in the Bout of Books read-a-thon in May. So much excitement!
