 Forthcoming challenge

I’ve travelled on this lonely road
For pleasure set with punishment
Trapped where, time ever corrodes.
Days of vigils, contained intent

Where comes the inner strength?
For its labour bears a weight
Its unrelenting, as a barbed wire fence
The pen, to grasp its power subjugates

Drain and freeze, leave incomplete
A labour set with bars
words to crack, a stony faced relief
Prisoner and warder, the door ajar

To tread that path is hard
seems an unending trek
comes self esteem, the inward bard
the minds unrest, is ever vexed

Just for the few to grasp the nettle
To yourselves be kind and gentle

It is almost time
so I will chime in
on this napo conversation.
The sensation of the thrill
runs through my veins.
I gain momentum in inspiration.
I gather my letters
and tell them they better deliver.
No writer's block allowed.
I must walk the walk.

Eh, meh.. trying to fire up the brain here.
Hello my fellow napo people.  Glad to be here 🙂

Peep game
come this NaPo
it's:
Enter the dragon.

Northern lights
ablaze
in the maze
of
the sky
on these nights

entrained
in stains over the eye

This NaPo: It will rain poetry.

And don't forget, dear Josh above,
it's fifty unique words, my love.
That's so we can't get off the hook
with some short form that only took
two minutes! But I have a great idea...
channel Ellie's verbal diarrhoea!

But this is hilarious, Waffle! And no soufflé about that. Things are beginning to taste delicious: I like hilarious and delicious in a truly tasteful vocabulary blend.

Whether forward or backward,
Easy or whack ward,
Up, down, or all around,
Airbound, or on the ground,
Ldj still brings it
Any way she wings it!
NaPo will be fun
This 2K-3 run:
Let us all get dressed
For the bold conquest.

I was away awhile,
But I'm back on The Rock;
To make absence worthwhile,
I took the time to stock
The respite I so lacked
(Rejuvenation time).
I see you have not slacked
Where wit tangoes with rhyme!

Awesome cab.  You know me, I enjoy a good rhyme 😊

My words are sluggish
but I say rubbish.
Splash water on those faces
pretty soon it's off to the races.
