As life returns to normal, post-COVID infection, I thought it might be an idea to write some longer form poems for the next 30 days, to get me back into the business of routine. Fortunately, Twitter has provided an event for that: #NaPoWriMo, which is part of #NationalPoetryMonth.
It’s #Day8 and I know some poets think ‘aping’ (copying someone else’s idea and form) is a form of cheating when it comes to poetry. It’s easier sometimes, however, when you don’t feel confident enough yourself to briefly lean on someone else. In this case, that means using the starting point of song lyrics, that play over a shocking, terrifyingly clever end credits scene, making it even more potent. For #NaPoWriMo today… it’s time for an ape, based on a James Bond film.
Thank you for taking the time to read, and please comment if you like this 😀
