NaPoWriMo: National Poetry Writing Month - 30 poems in 30 days, pt VII

[roina_arwen]

Since I've gotten a bit behind in my poetry efforts for NaPoWriMo (today is day 19, and I've only done 11 poems, putting me a week behind the proverbial 8-ball), I asked some of my friends in therealljidol community to please bless me with a ONE WORD topic to inspire a Tiny Rhyme.

You can see some of my prior Tiny Rhymes HERE if you are interested. However

Thank you! :)

Dude, badass! I seriously posted that prompt as sort of a gag, thinking you'd laugh and skip it! Mega points for a really cool use of an unusual form (I've only seen a few cleave poems done before, and of *course* cleave poem for double helix is perfect) and for taking on the mad science challenge in the first place.

*\o/* YAY!

I swear to you, I read that prompt, thought "Of course she would..." then my brain went to Barney in HIMYM and decided "Challenge accepted!" and set out to conquer it!

I'm glad it worked out so well. Thank you!

Trying to wrangle science into two interwoven Tankas (5-7-5-7-7 syllables) was a bit of an experiment - I'm glad it came out as well as it did! Thanks!

I love it! I'm going to print it out and put it with my orchid plants :D

eta; omg geeking out at the amazing deoxyribonucleotide! You, m'dear, are fucking awesome!

[roina_arwen]

I'm glad you like the orchid poem, thanks!

As far as PTW's challenging prompt, it was fun to wrangle science into two interwoven Tankas (5-7-5-7-7 syllables) so I'm glad it came out as well as it did! Thanks again!

I may not tackle all three but I will see what I can do!

[lrig_rorrim]

Oh squee! These are super delightful! PTW's is super awesome (fellow science nerd here) but I'm thrilled with mine, too!

[roina_arwen]

PTW didn't think I'd do it, but I DID. Ha!

I'm glad you liked yours - thanks for the prompt!
