I can see why I would visit this prompt again. NaPoWriMo Prompt: “Twenty Little Poetry Projects” Begin the poem with a metaphor. Say something specificContinue reading “#NaPoWriMo Day 5: Twenty Little Moments”

# NaPoWriMo Day 3: Playing with Sounds
On my search for “chromatic notes” in nature around my house, I found this odd assortment of bones in the water and on the rocks nearby. I found one similar to the largest bone about two months ago.
