Makeup
Here’s my haiku:
Your Makeup is Terrible
Sometimes I wear it.
I do my makeup badly.
I love you anyway.
I will take part in Mike Maggio’s 30 for 30 poetry celebration/contest.
I will try to write poems based on poetry prompts.
I have been SO BUSY doingย poetic things this month, I have forgotten to let you guys know what *I* am doing
This is the first year I have not ordered a National Poetry month in time for April, so I just did.ย If it’s still available, it says it will take 4-6 weeks to get here.
A CHALLENGE TO MYSELF:
Write 1 poem or haiku every day in April based on poetry prompts you guys send me ๐
Today’s prompt is to write a poem and to include the words “be kind” in your poem.
Theseย are Kurt Vonnegut’s words, from his 1965 novel, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, or Pearls Before Swine
I used this song as the dance with my Dad at my wedding ๐
Poetry Prompt: Write a poem about your first kiss
It really is snowing this morning! ๐
Poetry Prompt: Go through an older poetry notebook and REVISE a past poem that you think needs a change
I’ve done this one A LOT ๐
FOR ALL myย readers, writers, lurkers I have a question: ย do you think the poetry prompts I post are too general? ย I got ONE COMMENT that they were. ย Is there anything you would like to see onย Words of TheVal2000?
(I want to be this good!)

Roller skating poetry prompt #21
Ungraceful
by Valeri Beers
I want
the
music
speed.
To dance
on
wheels
Look at me
I want
to skate
with
my girl
I don’t want
to be
a
wallflower.
I
rolled rather
ungracefully
from
here to there.

Earth poetry prompt #22 (rough draft)
I
don’t like
your cousin,
Mother Nature.
She made
it snow
too much.
It’s
STILL cold
out.
Can
Summer
come out
&
play?

car race poetry prompt #18
It
was ugly
but
it
won.
Start to finish
it dominated.
It
was all
him.
Last minute
adjustments.
