Ruchira's Ramblings

NaPoWriMo Day 18. Prompt from napowrimo.net: "Today, I’d like to challenge you to write an elegy of your own, one in which the abstraction of sadness is communicated not through abstract words, but physical detail."

NaPoWriMo Day 16. Prompt from napowrimo.net: "Today, I challenge you to write a poem that uses the form of a list to defamiliarize the mundane. "

Of Ordinary Things... The daily (optional) prompt from napowrimo.net today "is based on a dream that the poet Natalie Eilbert had. In the dream, she was taking a poetry workshop in which each student had to bring in two objects from home – one significant and one dull. The students then had to give away or destroy the significant object, and write a poem about loving the dull thing. Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem about a dull thing that you own, and why (and how) you love it. Alternatively, what would it mean to you to give away or destroy a significant object?" I chose to write about the "dull thing I own".
