Ms. Nakada's NaPoWriMo Post: Day 25

Our poem today is by Lucille Clifton. You might want to take note of her use of capitalization. 

• Read through the poem 3-4 times (preferably out loud). 
• What feeling/tone do you get from the poem? 
• What is it about? 
• What poetic elements do you notice happening in this poem? 
• Annotate and make sense of this poem.

For today's prompts: write a poem imagining seeing someone you know now but haven't seen in many years.

From Winter Tangerine: "Write a myth in a landscape you know very well."

From Writer's Digest: "For today’s prompt, write a remix poem. That is, take one (or more) of your poems from earlier this month and remix it. Make a free verse poem into a villanelle. Or condense a sestina into a haiku or senryu. Or forget form. Just completely jumble up the words…or respond to the original poem(s). As always, have fun with it.

Remember: These prompts are just springboards; you have the freedom to jump in any direction you want. In other words, it’s more important to write a new poem than to stick to the prompt."

Stay healthy. Keep washing your hands and wear a mask and enjoy these last days of April.
