29 2026 by mary beth frezon napowrimo asked for a memory with details that s sorta dangerous you never know what might pop into view after a few days struggling with remembering what day it is i was strong in my belief this morning that it was indeed wednesday i was sick at the very beginning of covid i went to a lecture on a tuesday feeling punk and spent a couple weeks being really sick went to get a doctor s note to go back to work and everything got shut down the next day it s true that shut down was an introvert s dream and i had lots to amuse myself yes there was worry and trying to figure out how to get food etc but days with no retail crowds yes please this was not true for one of my managers who had given everything up apparently for the chance to micromanage people if we were unruly before now we were unreachable i finally had to suggest that she find something that gave her some pleasure and comfort as i recall she mentioned she had once played the flute during lockdown wednesday always a bit weepy ever since we had to stay home for weeks and months years wasn t it mom just hungering for a hug my manager with no one to manage found out we were fine without her and while checking on me by phone sobbed out her realizations often having done the make work i d get in the car and go paint folks walking along too worried distant waves and nice to see you the phone rang where are you she asked i m out painting it s my weekend like it share it share on bluesky opens in new window bluesky share on mastodon opens in new window mastodon share on threads opens in new

i did a bunch of mowing after getting home from monday s protest i did the front lawn by the house and then i went past the barn and with the blade all the way up pushed back the edges of that field it s got a bunch of tussocks and some thistles and now that the grass is mostly squashed down two rose or berry bush kinda things i ll keep pushing back on that as i can to keep it in grass against the hill of year round pine branches of wild cherry flowers in the mid morning suspension these moments of early spring joy turning as the road turns seeing combinations the world mixes for pleasure to teach us to see to open up to this moment when all things are waiting to be as it knows we are if we d reach out an eye to know where we are where we are in this spring time bliss learn lessons of

mary beth frezon almost to the end of napowrimo today s optional prompt was write your own poem in which all the verses contain the same number of lines whether couplets triplets quatrains etc and in which you give the reader instructions of some kind lol i didn t do that exactly but i did string together three haiku which i often do anyway and a tanka because you know living better with math 3 3 5 sonnet what of changing forms are you missing haiku too join me this morning i pursued sonnets a whole month of fourteen lines it was quite spacious petrarch hadn t heard of anything like haiku so he did his thing writing just sonnets was a good break from haiku with more wriggle room now make paths to brevity budding trees whisper to sky like it share it share on bluesky opens in new window
