So here we are again. April is National Poetry Writing Month, or NaPoWriMo, or 30/30, for those in the know. Last year I managed to get all the way through with only a few unpublished days--which I made up for in time--and it's time to do it again. I haven't written that much poetry in a while, so this should be fun.
#1/30:
FOUND: a happy list from Feb 6, 2011:
charity balls
dancing non-sexually with a cute boy
good night kisses
crooked smiles
blue dresses that make me sort of look like Cinderella
REMEMBERED: the night I fell for that cute boy and his crooked smile.
catching his eye and holding it while we danced
dancing to every song and collapsing into each other as the lights went up
the cute boy who asked me shyly if he could walk me all the way home
AND NOW: there have been more dances
and more good night kisses
and more crooked smiles
and still
I feel sort of like Cinderella
except my night doesn't end with a pumpkin
and I never had to lose my own shoes.
