It's my first year doing NaPo! Get excited for whatever trash I can pull out of my utterly unpoetic mind.

First poem will belong here tomorrow.

Gah, I already forgot to post a poem for one day (though, I did write one yesterday, promise!). My first two poems are both found poems. In a creative writing class I took we did this kind of poem where basically you take a piece of writing that already exists and cross out all but a few words to create a new poem with those words/phrases. Here's the text versions of those two poems (I'll try to post pics of them later).

1.
Eruptions.
Only the full-out
Are closely monitored
For some reason.
There has to be
Some sort of
Concern
In the few cases
Where only I stress.

2.
So much we see
Seems true
While more instances
Of belief
Occur more frequently.
It may also be
That for threat of impact,
Someone allows less
Than occurs.

Spoiler
So you know, these were made from extra pages of a huge paper I just did for my geology class about geologic events such as earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, and flooding. xD I really like this kind of poem, so you may see more of it as the month goes on.
