2025 Bad Poet: Day 19

  • by

Today’s prompt was to write about something in my way. And what opens a path forward from that thing blocking things up. And here’s my scandalous “fortune cookie” daily drawing too. (I didn’t mean for it to be scandalous, but drawing the contours of a fortune cookie is really hard!!)

god damn it!
It’s me again

sticks I put in my own wheel
rocks I threw in my own path

burying my head under a mountain of blankets

just five more minutes, ok?
of sleep, of mediocrity, of status quo

god damn it!
It’s me again

pulling myself from the tangle of blankets

ideas I paint on paper & canvas
words I pour into books & blogs

just a lifetime more, ok?
of an amazing life of what I choose

What connects with you? How does this make you feel?
