3 - The Monster
All night you've been fighting,
and it's a jealous monster, with green claws.
Morning sees it slink back to its lair.
Undefeated, waiting for the dark.

Success, they tell me, but to me,
success means lack of pain.
No more pain
and life to go on as before.
To them, success means
wave you out the door.

A Song of Hope
A tanka by J.D. Dawson
Sing to me of Spring
Of blooming flowers and trees
With signs of new life
Warmer climes and longer days
And better times soon to come

1.
To start, the pain is sharp,
a broken edge of glass,
enough to carve bloody lines
across your forehead.
My only wish is that
whatever let you sleep still let you,
and that your tired eyes
did not meet mine.

First poem of the month written just after midnight titled Customer Service addressing form letters, automated replies, and other idiocy.
Longest poem to date. Lots of idiocy.

Wrote another poem tonight, along the lines of my previous post, self-therapy. In this case, trying to determine if I am a narcissist.

Started another poem but it's a hot mess and I can't decide if it'll ever amount to anything. I think the subject matter is too close to my heart to sort out how I feel. Worth exploring...

Drafted a weird slant rhyme this morning. My husband (the lyricist) would hate it so of course I'll show it to him when he wakes up;) I should learn his handle so I can tag him...

Drafted a poem to vent my longing for a permanent residence, which I've never had in my entire life. Hopeful, sad, and a little resentful, the words didn't make me feel any better.

Created a new poem to explain the need to flirt with my husband at an absolutely unsuitable time. Called it "Giddiness" and decided that flirtiness needs to be a word. Decided the spelling based on happiness.

Training all day today for my official job. Spurred a frustrated poem about the state of The States at the moment. Might be something; might not. The venting was therapeutic, either way.

This morning's poem is a character profile. I thought it would be more whimsical but it ended up more of a summary of her backstory. I don't hate it.

This morning's poem mourns the loss of the Pope. I'm not Catholic, but like RBG, this Pope was a pillar. Unlike RBG's replacement, I hope the new Pope follows their predecessor's ideals.

Tonight's poem was based on a prompt to woo someone else's darkness. I'm not sure if it makes any sense, but the words brought out both pain and hope as I wrote it, so it was cathartic even if it's a failure.

Tonight's poem is pretty much a disaster- no pattern, rhyme, or anything else that makes it feel poetic. Still, I took the time to write a few lines about having "A Good Day."
