NaPoWriMo 2012 - 30 Poems in 30 Days - Day 16

Here we are on this beautiful Monday morning gearing up for another week of poetry! I'm feeling refreshed and ready to continue this poetic ride! I've decided to challenge myself by doing more of the poetry prompts, so today's directive is to write a poem using an image for inspiration. There were three pictures posted on the NaPoWriMo site and the one I've chosen is posted above. Please enjoy:

Wind Surfer

Loaded

Heavy

Wandering sometimes aimlessly

Light

Rocking to and fro

Filled with revelers

Loners

Slackers

The wealthy

Poor in spirit

I'm sinking

Rising

Lifted

Sun-soaked

Restrained

I'm alive most

Elevated on sea foam

Sun on my sail

Floating

Roaming

Speeding

Free

You make a difficult art look so easy, I can never write anything so lovely, when it has to be according to a theme.

I'm jazzed that I am at the mid-point of this poetry challenge. Do you ever look at your life and see that it's not where you want it to be, but you are amazed at how far you've come and even though you may be having a setback, you still have great optimism for your future because you know you are a child of God? Well, that's how I'm feeling, so today's piece was written in the vein of a...

Participants of NaPoWriMo are being charged to write an epistolary poem — a poem in the form of a letter. Some of you know that I'm currently working to self publish my novel, Letters to Chyna, which isn't an epistolary novel per se, but does feature several letters that are of high intrigue and importance to the main character. According to the prompt, in addition to the poem being epistolary, it has to address an inanimate object...
