NaPoWriMo - 12

... Have to confess I'm flagging, here... still 18 to go!!!!!!!!


The white road

is water,
is cloud,
is ice,
is deep:

the drug-runners’ highway,
the long death-row sleep.

The white road

is cotton,
is crystal,
is sugar,
is steep:

the broad path of hardship
that’s swollen with sheep.

Kate, you have done this thing very creatively once again my friend -- pass any white flag you may have to someone who needs it -- peace and love be always with -- Jon Michael

White pepper brings on sneezes

White lightening's on a bender

White knuckles when my daughter drives

White flags that say surrender



18 to go and I see no white flag...Excellent. Patrick

The water of life has many of the above elements in it as does the white road of taste and sight contain the elements that depends where you place them.

This one's awesome, Kate. I like the way it reads; the quick bursts of imagery with the rhymed lines linking. Enjoyed!

Your "flagging" is pretty fine stuff, Kate. Keep on waving the "flag" to indicate your writes. Love and best wishes,

May be flagging, but it's got rhythm and rhyme and still a lot of signature charm.

I was thinking perhaps I'd try an experiment with folk song lyrics, like instead of saying you're eating a clementine, you could say you were eating an "oh my darlin'" etc... I'm sure you've folk songs I've never heard before and vice-versa, so perhaps it wouldn't work, but it'll be fun trying anyways. --Charlie
