Year 18.

2024 i lost 2010 somewhere between now and then
2023 deluge
2022 ghosts burning
2021 the plague years
2020 distance, distraction, dissociation
2019 permafrost
2018 twisted steel and broken spines
2017 Drought
2016 Earthquake Weather
2015 once more unto the breach
2014 Poe-Tree
2013 *gasp* Mesh Masticates Madness!
2012 Look! Mesh actually *does* write!
2011 Stardust - Bek's NaPo thread 2011
2010 ?
2009 I love like a phantom: Bek's NaPo thread 2009
2008 Bek's NaPoWriMo thread

Goal is one a day for 30. And I've written one poem typed and a couple by hand so far this year. I also am completely exhausted (stressed, miserable, etc.) so this could be the year I completely fail, or I'll write it all out. We'll see.

Couple of starts on the first one, and neither exactly did what I wanted? So I may revisit these later in the month, once I remember how to write again.

I maybe looked at the prompts from yesterday from NaPo, and uh, you may only get music nonsense from me the rest of the month. And angst. Because.

Also, I'll just apologize now to everyone who gets comments from me this year. I think I've already disintegrated into just copying my favorite lines and squeeing because they're amazing, and I wish I had thought of them because daaaaaaang.

Brevity is the soul of wit! There is so much packed in to each of these. They are such a delight. I love the "tryingtobesummer" word.

"I've got dreams like you--no really!--just much less, touchy-feeley.
They mainly happen somewhere warm and sunny
on an island that I own, tanned and rested and alone
surrounded by enormous piles of money." -Flynn Rider, Tangled

Mesh! I always look forward to seeing what you'll do with your napo thread and that signature pointed concise Mesh voice! I like how you play with the unpredictability of seasons (+landscapes, +weather) that seems to also be a commentary on the unpredictability of our emotions / experience. #6 on grief is very thoughtful. Also spring "tryingtobesummer" sun made me smile as I know what you mean! "bracketed rain" is also a terrific turn of phrase.

Looking forward to continuing to follow along friend!

you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now

but i have promised to return
