Was NaPoWriMo a Success??

This was my first year participating in NaPoWriMo. I really enjoyed it and was able to write poems that are uncharacteristic for me. I found some prompts that I would like to work more on when I'm not constricted by school. I am happy to say that I did complete the month's worth of poems! They are all listed on this blog and will be published into a book form once I reach a certain amount of poems in my collection (I do have more poems that were written prior to this month). I cannot wait to participate again in 2015!

Goodbye

I need to say goodbye,

But the words, I cannot say.

I love you to the ends of the earth.

Sadly, you do not feel the same.

I must say goodbye,

Although I do not want to.

Going on without you

Is breaking my heart.

Goodbye for now

But I promise I will be back.

I love you with a love

That is worth fighting for.

Special Place

I want to relax.

So I find a special place,

Just for me.

A hammock on the beach,

Hanging from a coconut tree.

A special place where I can dream.

Smelling the warm ocean water.

Feeling the warm ocean breeze.

All while being lost in my happy thoughts.

The Starfish

I spend my summer days

Walking along the beach.

I walk in a daze,

Dreaming of things out of reach.

I want things for me,

Things I’ve never spoken of.

Looking down, I see

What I believe is a sign from above.

A sign of intuition,

A beautiful starfish.

A creature sent on a mission

To grant me my one wish.

My wish to be with you

Every day and night.

I believe that I am due,

The wish I wished with all my might.
