NaPoWriMo 2024 day 1

Pen on top of an open book

Day 1 of NaPoWriMo.

My poem

First poem for the challenge. Written in short meter.

Daemon possessed

Daemon on my system
Someone call an exorcist
And bring a couple scriptures too
Preferably from Genesis

We'll trip him in his tracks
Since he's always on the run
Then cast the daemon out
Before the processing is done!

Featured poem

A personal favorite of mine. A ballad.

I dwell in Possibility

by Emily Dickinson

I dwell in Possibility —
A fairer House than Prose —
More numerous of Windows —
Superior — for Doors —

Of Chambers as the Cedars —
Impregnable of eye —
And for an everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky —

Of Visitors — the fairest —
For Occupation — This —
The spreading wide my narrow Hands
To gather Paradise —
