2019/Conclusion

Global/NaPoWriMo 2019

CONCLUSION

I wasn't sure how things were going to pan out this year, as we were away in the Philippines for the first couple of weeks, and my intention was to do a few more pieces for the Plymouth collection which I started last year after we came back. However, I did a follow up to a poem I wrote a few years ago called 'Hello Am I even Home' and I ended up doing several more to start yet another collection. I'll add the latest one below but before I go I must say congratulations to everybody who completed this years NaPoWriMo challenge.

HELLO AM I EVEN SOBER

I bought her an Easter egg she loves Easter

and she eats hot cross buns all year round

I only eat them on Good Friday

a few days after Easter she still hadn't eaten her egg

so I asked her when we were going to eat it

she laughed but I wasn't joking

I love chocolate I hid some in the house

but I can't find it now

sometimes I can't remember what I do with things

My friend asked me to wish him luck in the

London Marathon and said he managed three hours

twelve minutes and three seconds last year

this year he's going to try and beat that but he says

he usually gets bored and turns the TV over

Football's like that too the goalkeepers are so good

these days that it's hard to score

I took a penalty at Wembley and booted the ball

over the bar the next time I got the ball I beat five men

and scored I was the hero as we lifted the FA Cup

I dropped the lid and the noise woke me up

I dream about all sorts of things sometimes I dream

that I have been smoking cigarettes but

I gave up fourteen years ago

the other day I dreamt that I was an alcoholic

drinking two bottles of vodka a day

hello am I even sober

But the worst thing I hate is taking all those tablets

every day they tell me its time to take them and

I fall asleep when I wake up they've gone

who are they any way who's helping who

don't take tablets unless you have to
