Brain Bits To Go

Today is the last of April and so the last day of NaPoWriMo. It’s true, I haven’t made any effort to follow the writing prompts, but I have written 30 poems this month. In that spirit, I feel entitled to a little celebration. To everyone who made it this far, Congratulations! To everyone who participated, Thank you so much for sharing your words with the rest of us!

THE FINAL VERSE…….?

Oh day of days, this final day,

Relief through me does flow.

Though I rejoice to see it done,

I’ll miss it now I know.

I’ve sweated and I’ve cursed it and,

I’ve dreaded each new day.

Dreaded knowing sometime I must,

Run out of things to say.

But here I am and finally,

My tortured brain may rest.

Though I’ve not writ some epic ode,

I’ve done my very best.

Now every time I try to speak,

I spout some silly rhyme.

If I can’t break this habit I,

May lose my mind in time.

So pop the cork and fill the glass,

We’ve made it one more year.

To everyone who shared their voice,

Who overcame their fear.

I thank you for the words you’ve shared,

For every line you’ve penned.

I wonder if like me you both,

Dread and applaud the end.

But stick around, don’t go just yet,

There’s more to come you see.

There’s writing and there’s artworks and,

More little bits of me.

Cheers, Winston
