I’ve backed off from the 500 words today and possibly for the rest of the month, but I have a good excuse.
April is NaPoWriMo, short for National Poetry Writing Month – why April, I’m not sure, it’s not as though it’s midway between NaNoWriMos, being five months to November (or seven depending on which way you look at it). Anyway, it’s been suggested to me that I might join in. Two years ago I sort of cheated and posted a haiku every day, (not to say that writing haikus is easy, but at least the typing isn’t too time-consuming). I intended to make a small hand-made book out of them, never quite got round to it. Maybe one day.
But this is today’s poetic effort:
Morning beach, waiting

for the sun to come crawling
over the water.
