The Body - NaPoWriMo 2022 Day Two

A Post Card From Us (a postcard Prose Poem attempt)

To our Dearest Daughter,

 -- (She) We are both doing well but as the photo shows / some health problems have arisen / He has developed a pot belly, we call "Belly Welly" and my memory has slipped.  Memory xxxx 

 -- (He) Her memory surely slipped, it's "Early Onset Dementia," commonly called a "Memory Fog". And my stomach is "Billy's Belly Deli O"

 -- (She) that's us anyway, like he say / our REAL PROBLEM is  

WE NEED TO COME LIVE WITH YOU !!!

 [Rollo needs to come too]

 - Our NaPoWriMo Day One leader choice for Monday, "optional prompt (for Monday)! I got this one from a workshop I did last year with Beatrix Gates, and I’ve found it really helpful. The prompt is based on Robert Hass’s remarkable prose poem, “A Story About the Body.” The idea is to write your own prose poem that, whatever title you choose to give it, is a story about the body. The poem should contain an encounter between two people, some spoken language, and at least one crisp visual image.

Happy writing!"

Good News poem (not so good)

        Coney Island NYC, USA

Dearest Dad 

Well, Dad, back in the USA  
New York city to be exact 
Not quite exact, I'm on the beach 

There's big crowds that come every day 
Someone will take me home real soon 
Here's to beat the bum last  time was 

That was a real bummer (new pun)
Like running with a pack of dogs 
They picked a leader, off we went 

But Son's okay here, please tell Mom 
When I get a home, see me then 
Lets hope it's soon. 

I love you Dad
