NaPoWriMo- I’m Joining a Little Late
So, for those of you not familiar, “NaNoWriMo” is short for “National Novel Writing Month” and it takes place in November. “NaProWriMo” is the spin-off for “National Poetry Writing Month”. Being that I consider myself to be a poet, albeit an amateur one- if one can be an amateur at something they have been doing for nearly a decade, I figured I should join in on the fun. I’m a little late to the game but here goes my attempt from yesterday:
Oh evil coffee chain
How you lure me in
With your over-priced mocha lattes
Frothy frappe drinks
And creamy delights
Even my kids know their orders
As we pull up
Beside your green mer-persons sign
“Chocolate milk Nilla milk
And cake pops pleaaaaaseeee”
Oh evil coffee chain
I wasn’t even intending to come your way
Today
But alas
My glazed over auto pilot eyes
Kicked in
As I drove to buy canvas paint
And my hands steered
The wheel
Of my smoke cloud puffing
SUV
In to the turn lane
Turning your way
And automatically
Like so much else in our lives
I spouted off the order
And drove away
