The second challenge I received was:
Spring - heart awakening after dark days
Which provoked a Haiku:
White
evaporates
golden rays
penetrations
bring forth
spring's magic
Which mutated into a tanka:
White
evaporates
golden rays
penetrations
bring forth
spring's magic
and the new
seasons passion
cloaks
darkness with verdant life.
Then I read http://www.napowrimo.net/ day 2 prompt "we’d like to challenge you to write a poem that plays with voice. For example, you might try writing a stanza that recounts something in the first-person, followed by a stanza recounting the same incident in the second-person, followed by a stanza that treats the incident from a third-person point of view" and this poured out:
My fingers
brush the ice from earth and limbs,
I stir the
sluggish sap within your core,
My presence
makes the songbirds change their hymns;
I breathe the
joy of life; and passions soar.
Your touch
warms frozen clay to fertile loam.
You cause my
sap to pulse with rapid growth
Then make
each songbird praise its new built home.
You banish
winters weariness and sloth.
The breath of
spring melts winters icy hold;
It draws the
rising sap to fresh sprung leaves.
At dawn the chorus chirps its anthem bold
And life
rejoices in the spell it weaves.
I love this! So clever to think of using inanimate objects for your voices.
