Last NaPo Week, I based my entire theme on 'Pet Semetary' by my favorite author, Stephen King. Each poem centered upon a quote and message that impacted my life. I plan to continue this pattern this NaPo, following one of my favorite books ever, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. To me, this book is a medley of the ideas of childhood innocence and how we lose that magic as we get older. I turn 20 during NaPo this year, so this is a big milestone for me. My poems this year will focus on growing up, searching the world, a yearning to find where I belong, and trying to keep that purity and ability to see the world through a lens of love. At the same time, I want to explore grief and missing parts of myself that I can no longer find, I want to ponder how one loves the sunset when one is so sad.
"I love sunsets. Let’s go and watch one now…"
"But you must wait…“
“One day," you said to me, "I saw the sunset forty-four times!“
And a little later you added:
"You know — one loves the sunset, when one is so sad…"
"Were you so sad, then?“ I asked, "on the day of the forty-four sunsets?"
But the little prince made no reply.”
2024: the disease of overthinking.
2024 NaPo Week: sometimes dead is better.
Goals:
-It is a busy month for me, so I am aiming for 12 deep and meaningful poems, instead of 30+ that won't stick with me.
-Follow along with every other thread and leave at least 30 comments in total.
-Perform a spoken word poem.
-Share my poems with my family.
