NaPoWriMo 2019: What's Done is Done

There is not

A single thing that

Can be done

To change then

We can only change today

We only live now

Double-Dip Shadorma: Whatever We or I Want

I ran this photo of the Douchebag Family through a bunch of filters, not to protect their identities, but because it was fun. You can see the original photo and read about how they came to be known as the Douchebag Family here.

 I

When they were

 Caught carving their names

 On public

 Property

 The darling daughter replied

 In her lovely way

 II

 We can do

 Whatever we or 

 I want to

 Narcissist

 Product of narcissistic

 Social ideals

~cie~

Notes:

The prompt today was narcissism.

I chose to paint an unflattering portrait of a narcissistic family who saw fit to deface public property in a national park.

Shadorma: Get Sick and Die

Hookworm

Despite the

 Worst efforts of the

 New order

 To insure

 My early death, I live on

 And I will fight them

~The Real Cie~ 

Notes:

This piece was inspired by this post about the treatment of sick and poor people in Lord Dampnut's Amerikkka. As part of the working poor class, and as a disabled person, living in Lord Dampnut's Amerikkka is terrifying.

Shadorma: Reduced to This

I dunno. I think it works.

Read the poem first and then the notes.

It might make more sense that way.

Or not.

Always if

 You feel like you must

 Write and your

 Subject is

 Not the sort who would be cool

 The down-low is best

~The Cheese Grates It Poetically~

Notes:

First, the Rules of Engagement.

 Today we challenge you to write a paragraph that briefly recounts a story, describes the scene outside your window, or even gives directions from your house to the grocery store. Now try erasing words from this paragraph to create a poem or, alternatively, use the words of your paragraph to build a new poem.

So, I was getting ready to go to bed, and I just got through writing a post regarding my ideas about what's cool and what isn't in writing fan fiction. If you really want to read it, you can find it here. 

I'm extremely liberal regarding the rules when writing about fictional characters, rather more conservative when it comes to writing about real people.

I took my words from the last paragraph in my essay. 

It turned out surprisingly not awful.

I will go to bed now.
