Hey there everyone. Today’s poem for Day 14 of NaPoWriMo was inspired by a word list provided by napowrimo.net HQ. The challenge with the word list itself was to take any number of the following items and apply our own interpretations that we would find in our own dream dictionary:- Teacup, Hammer, Seagull, Ballet slipper, Shark,…
Hey there everyone. So, over at Napowrimo.net HQ, the challenge for Day 13 was to write a poem based around an upended phrase/saying/idiom. This could be an alternative meaning or opposite to the phrase that you have selected. Now, anyone who knows me well enough will be aware that I go crazy for cute animals.…
Hi there. It’s time for another classic dose of NaPoWriMo goodness. Today’s challenge is to have a pop at writing a ‘haibun’. I’ve never written one of these before, only haikus but I can’t resist anything that is served in a bun, so let’s tuck in 🙂 Also, since haibuns are a combination of a…
Hey there friends. Another day of catch up for NaPoWriMo. The prompt for this little excursion is to do with imagining writing a State of the Union speech or considering the future. I found this video particularly relevant and inspiring when it came to writing to my poem 🙂 And now after that bit…
Hello there folkerinos. Here I am, still plugging away at NaPoWriMo and seeing if there is any chance that I can catch up and get back on track.

Just a quick note before we get started properly. I link to a lot of other articles in my posts, so WordPress users please check your Spam folders in…
Hey there everyone. Got another poem inspired by the NaPoWriMo website prompt for Day 9. The challenge was to come up with a poem where something big collides with something small and see where it leads us. I therefore wrote this inspirational piece, hope you enjoy it.

Hey there everyone. I’m still doing Author Interviews throughout this month (even though I’ve got a lot of poetry sheninagans on my plate to deal with, since it’s National Poetry Writing Month) but for me, it is a very much a case of having my cake, eating it, then eating yours for good measure and…
Hello folks. Got another NaPoWriMo entry for y’all that’s super late, as I try my hardest to catch up. (Look at me, I sound like a stuck record!) The prompt I used this time relates to writing something where mystical and magical things occur. I can’t help but think that this relates to my local…
