NaPoWriMo Day 24 thru 30

Day 24

They said he was ferocious,

with big sharp claws,

and gnarly teeth.

He took out two

of my men

before he latched

onto my throat.

We should've known

better than to mess

with that rabbit.

Run away, run away.

Day 25

She

runs quickly

inside the house

trying to escape him,

but he catches her, again.

Day 26

We thought we had it

all right, but

when they found

what we left behind,

they wondered how.

How could we have been

so primitive?

Day 27

It tasted like chalk.

Dry, unappealing, and bland.

I thought it was candy.

It turned my whole mouth blue.

My mom called the doctor,

he said I would be alright.

I can still taste its bitterness.

I never should have stuck that

blue PAAS Easter Egg tablet

in my mouth, but I was only five.

Day 28

I wait,

not knowing our fate.

I suppose I could ask,

but am I up to the task?

Maybe one day I'll look back,

and we'll both have a good laugh.

I guess we'll have to wait and see,

what is in store for you and me.

Day 29

Gardens

flowers, blue, scent, walk, path, bloom, glisten, sun shine

As I walk through

the gardens,

her flowers all in bloom,

I think about the path I've taken,

the one that has lead me to you.

I smell the scent of the tulips,

I hear the soft words you share.

I watch quietly as the sun shine

glistens upon your hair.

Day 30

Again and again,

we gather for the holidays.

Sometimes in December,

when we take our annual

shopping trip, but sometimes

not until May, when everything

else has finally washed away.
