Today’s NaPoWriMo challenge is to write a poem of lists, based on fictitious names. I always thought I could write a memoir, with each chapter being a play on the name of the streets I’ve lived on:
Dawn: Life Begins
Kings way: Patriarchy Established
Towering Heights: The Rise Before the Fall
Wake – Elle: Feminism is Born
Black Acres: The Dark Years
Berkshire: A Male Chauvinist Pig
Springbank: Hope
William: A New Ruler
Topping: The Final Straw
Wonderland: Like Alice
Beached Wood: Pregnancy
Hardsley: Still Pregnant
Highview: Scrambling for Perspective
Deck Her: Perspective is Obvious
Bricks n Ham: Hard Life
Baseline: A Bottom to Build From
Griffin: Chasing a Myth
Crestly: Climbing
Mark Us: Noteworthy
Iron Wood: Gaining
Boler: Hats Off to Progress
What an interesting concept. Each line of your poem is definitely a story waiting to be written down!

This is wonderful. A little piece of you in every line. I never do the suggested prompts for NaPoWriMo, but I think I’ll be checking them out.

Following other’s prompts is new for me – definitely a challenge, and a bit of a stretching lesson. Otherwise, I think I get stuck in a rut. You are pretty good at diversifying.

These days, my mind is all over the place. I like the prompts because I can do whatever I want with them.
