How hard can it be?
Challenge: a new one each day
They can all be bad

NaPoWriMo is here. National Poetry Writing Month. The challenge is to write a new poem each day in April. My favorite is Haiku.

My Candle
My candle burns at both ends ;
It will not last the night ;
But, ah, my foes and oh, my friends —
It gives a lovely light!
Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950)
A Day Will Come
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or secret gate
And though I have oft passed them by
A day will come when at last will I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun
~~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Once in a While
But once in a while
the odd thing happens,
Once in a while the
dream comes true,
And the whole pattern
of life is altered,
Once in a while the
moon turns blue.
~~ W.H. Auden (1907-1973)
Two Different Things
What you are taught and what you learn are two different things. ~~ Malcolm Gladwell
It's a long story ...
