NaPoWriMo 2018 Day 10
Unwritten
I had been sleeping in segments
like an essay you can't concentrate on
and write in sloppy short paragraphs
before stopping. I was inbetween waking
and dreaming most days, half asleep
in the day, half awake at night.

Aquatic
When the ice caps finally melted,
flooding the globe one hot summer,
consuming many major cities,
We were caught ignorant and unaware.NaPoWriMo 2018 Day 7
Gleaming
Everything is precious in this early light.
A fox shuffles between discarded kebabs,
with shimmering fur, golden and new.
A high-rise, shining, is a forgotten temple.
Glass shards scattered over the pavement
are countless stars, illuminating the tarmac.
Emerald leaves grow from amber branches
to shine on us both, staggering stragglers,
almost home, with the rarest crystals for eyes.
Overnight, this city was built again out of silver,
just for me and you, my sapphire love.NaPoWriMo 2018 Day 6
Fog
The white cliffs had no end,
edges eaten by cloud,
an invisible sea below.NaPoWriMo 2018 Day 5
Boundary
I am mostly empty,
Ninety-nine percent space.NaPoWriMo 2018 Day 4
Discovery
After crossing the vast nothingness,
months trapped in a steel coffin
with inches between us and death,
we crashed into the red dust.NaPoWriMo 2018 Day 3
Apologise
Fine, I’m sorry I punched you
hard in the eye just now.
But you walked in front of my fist-
What did you expect?Napowrimo 2018 Day 2

He lived his days in monochrome;
grey suit, white shirt, grey tie,
bought in bulk to avoid choice.napowrimo 2018 Day 1
I'm doing this again. Last year I quite enjoyed the process of creating a brand new poem every day in April so have decided to do it again.
