Oh, this prompt sounds like fun. My hubby knows that I can be mean if I'm tired, hungry or have a headache. I also love vinegar and I'm very passionate about real food and don't like impersonators (margarine, quorn and chocolate bars that are really biscuits).
Day 24 – Elegy
With Earth Day recently taking place, my impact on the planet is at the forefront of my mind. The images of our seas plastic pollution is very disturbing and that is where I drew my inspiration for today's poem.
Day 23 – Avicii
I've always loved Avicii's music and I was sad to hear he had passed this weekend. I hoped the news was a hoax but it is wasn't. Today's poem is using the lyrics from one of his songs.
Day 22 – Thirteenth hour
As a Fantasy writer, I love making the impossible real. My first instinct is to go with 'The clock can't strike thirteen' because it makes me think of my favourite film (from the 80s) Labyrinth, with goblins, faeries, mazes and magic.
Day 21 – Unrequited
I think Echo’s story is one many have experienced. I'd bet everyone has wanted someone who doesn't know they exist and dismisses them without realising the hurt caused. If you've not experienced that - lucky you.
Day 20 – Rebel
Today's poem is about how we all are unique and we shouldn’t let anyone tell us who we are based on a box we are put in. Nobody should be compared to someone else. Especially not at the expense of their confidence.
Day 19 – Heatwave
Wow, it has been so hot today. Not sure how I'm going to cope as I get more pregnant but I plan to make the most of this heat wave whilst it's here because you never know in England what the weather will be tomorrow.
Day 18 – Sunshine
For Day 18 the promt... Makes no sense to me, so I'm ignoring it.
Day 17 – Anecdote
There are plenty of tales of growing up. I have a younger brother and sister and we often played tricks on each other.
Day 16 – Play
When I first approached this task I thought of Peculiar Pets by Victoria Roberts. It's a picture book about a little girl that wants a pet but her mum says "We'll see" whenever she asks. The little girl creates pets out of bits and pieces around the home. It is a delightful read about a child's imagination and creative play.
