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.
Got YWS?

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.
