Well, what can I say? First of all congratulations to all my fellow challengers and poetic friends for completing yet another NaPoWriMo. This was my ninth year, and I probably produced some of my worst work ever. It is always difficult to produce something fresh and new on a daily basis, and this April was particularly hard for me. Many thanks for reading my posts this year. I will leave you with my May Day Poem:
Attributes distribution retribution
and anything bigger than Rhinoceros
The city grows exponentially as
the mean number of poor people increase
Nobody knows the fine art of
devaluation like the corrupt official
Bent as a nine bob note he goes
straight for the proverbial jugular
Dollars and cents were never
this important before the great wall of Chihuahua
All these self important people
running around chasing their own tails
They’ll tell you anything they
think you want to hear like it or not sideways
We’re both doing the same thing
in different back yards digging doesn’t help
When the balloon goes up
everybody gets burnt not just those that play with fire
We all try to make our mark
sometimes too casually perhaps maybe someday…
Be careful what you wish for she’s
got a ball and chain welded to that railing
Her smile is deadly and her
voice will mesmerise you if you let it happen
Love is just out of reach just
beyond the fence that you can’t jump over
But different cities will flash
through your memory as you tune back in
Who are you and how often do you
come to this great place to pray?
He walks out of the cathedral
blinking in the warm sunlight outside
Everybody’s a number now they
have all been fish chipped and tattooed
She thinks I’m looking for her
following her in the rain with a broken umbrella
He went to the tailors bought a
new suit had it altered smart as a Munchkin
Miss-jointed disappointed un-anointed
and anything bigger than Rhinoceros
