NaPoWriMo...Day Five

Make poetry really personal. Give poetry, as you write it, a name. Possibly a gender. And a personality. Give poetry — how you view poetry, what poetry means to you, your poetry — a name. Now write a poem suits your view or vision.

Agana flows from the heart, unbidden

You can call for her, but not force her

Forced, she is cold and stiff as rock

Unbidden, she arrives in a spurt

of lifeblood, your essence bared

Agana is not a choice.

You have her or you don't,

and if you do, you must let her flow

even if it kills you
