Hey there everyone. So, the Day 20 official NaPoWriMo HQ prompt is about being a rebel. Well, if you think I’m going to follow that prompt Sonny Jim, you’ve got another thing coming… Wait…does this mean I’m rebelling? Yes, it does indeed. I’m rebelling against doing the prompt, which in essence means that I’m doing…
Hey there folks. Today’s Day 18 NaPoWriMo shenanigans involve taking a poem from a magazine or book (preferably a poem you are not immediately familiar with) and then producing a poem on your end via indulging in a call and response routine. You cover up every line except the last one, then answer it with…
Hey there everyone. I decided to go off-prompt rather than use the NaPoWriMo HQ prompt today, as I do not have any amusing anecdotes that immediately spring to mind (and I’m pretty sure I have buried the more embarrassing ones, primarily due to being British and my stiff upper lip). I therefore opted to go…

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…
