The Last Poem for NaPoWriMo 2015

This Poem is dedicated to My NaPoWriMo Coach ANTO .... without your encouragement I would have fizzled, flopped, faded and feinted in the funky fresh fallopian tube of eternity ... Thank YOU XX :)

NaPoWriMo 

has come to an end 

ahhhhhh - as I take a 

mighty exhale 

National 

Poetry 

Writing
Month 

is held in April 

to write a poem 

a day 

for 

30

days 

the only objective 

what did I learn?

it is an art I’d say 

yes an art 

yet it shouldn’t be at all 

for we are tap, tap, tapping 

into the creative force 

each poem born 

was meant to call

when you let the 

prana flow right through you 

electrifying along the way 

vitality slips

into action 

life’s juice has 

something to say 

and just like meditation 

tapping in - not out 

becomes a norm 

words are proffered up 

in some kind of prose 

bringing with it unique form 

your mind translates

the image 

of all that is connected

for its true your words 

they have a place

a life gift to be reflected

running out of steam now 

reduced to a little puff 

number 30 - this is it 

now it’s time to do some other stuff ….



(that’s what you call a soft ending) 

((and I’m ok with that))

wow! i am on your fifth page and this is the poem i finally found that i haven't read yet :)) whew! especially savor the 5th verse (starts with "when you let....") i was gently surprised by your closing .. a bit of humor at the end of, what must have seemed, a long month ...i am too blase' and should not be .. my younger son once committed (with his grandmother) to write a haiku everyday for a year ..and they did ... i am sure such commitment is very beneficial ... love the pic ..so full of mystery and romance for some reason ..and i appreciate the tribute you give to our good friend Anto .. he is missed

Strange how a passion is indeed an art, in many ways, this is beautifully portrayed, delicately delivered and a pleasure to read xo

It's thought that a poet has a choice: write within disciplined exploration and learn 'bout one's possible ability or.. just quickly write from the core and discover emotional capability. Think you've done both and more over your thirty-poem exercise. Truly brilliant.

'.. t is an art I’d say .. yes an art .. yet it shouldn’t be at all .. for we are tap, tap, tapping .. into the creative force .. '

Nice piece KWP "running out of steam now reduced to a little puff number 30 - this is it"
Wow 30 poems what a feat. Maybe I will ray to do that next year. Todd job.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

So apt for your final piece of this competition and it succinctly describes the whole process in an expressive piece that gives the reader an insight into the task and emotions involved.

And rock on Anto!
