Cramming
I'm cramming
I keep looking at the time
It's now a quarter after eleven p.m
My twenty four hour window
Is almost over
I'm writing without any draft
My mind seems to work faster
When I'm racing with time
An old habit from my university days
It works for me this way
When I'm writing without inspiration
Lately my mind has freeze
And this NaPo has thawed the frost
That has blocked the thoughts from flowing free
Now myriads of thoughts are going on in my mind
Making me cram as I try to come up
With something to spill for the day
Before the clock hits the midnight hour

That's the worst when you're looking for a poem.
Other times they just appear and write themselves.
Take a shot of liquor. Solves many woes ...

Thanks PS. If only I can take your advice of taking liquor I would try it. 🙂 But I don't drink.

Dear S,
Aaaaaahhhhh this write brings on early jitters for what surely lies ahead for NaPo 2023! Reading the ingredients off a cereal box for inspiration. I really appreciate the free flow of this and it’s great to see you! H🌷

Dear H❤️,
Thank you for your comment. I'm looking forward to NaPo'23 and see you there but also feeling some jitters too. I haven't written a poem yet.

I liked writing NAPO poems about not being able to write for NAPO. It's interesting reading someone else's, I enjoyed.

Thank you LJ. I just write whatever comes to mind just to have something for NaPo. It lacks poetic value but it's the mental exercise that motivates to spill.

It's interesting how the mind starts to work to come up with ideas, even writing about writing, stomping the fear of writers block.
Well done.
Well done.

Wow! At least you're not cramping, lol. You clearly perform well under pressure, Summerrain75. I admire your strong spirit. And yes, it seems I am rather predictable. I have a dry sense of humour. I hope you're doing ok. Gook luck in the NaPo competition. I am routing for you to win it! 😊

Thanks Billy. I appreciate your comment. I do have cramps and I even wrote a poem about it during NaPo but haven't posted it yet.😂 but I'm glad it didn't bother me when I was cramming to write something for NaPo.😄
Re: Re. Cramming
I just hope you're still in the competition. I see you have 4 NaPo titles already? I know you're clearly driven but personally, I'd just be happy with one! My bar is set much lower than yours.

I'm looking forward to NaPo'23 it gives me reason to spill. I rarely get the inspiration to write after NaPo.
Re: Re. Cramming
Okay... when does that competition start, January 2023? Let me know if you can & I'll start reading what you put out. I would love a NaPo title; pure street cred, lol. I love the little green worm inside that bubble. It's unique, looks like no other DUP award. It's special & although I feel pleased for you, I also feel a little bit envious, lol. You totally deserve your loot! 😊
