NaPoWriMo #14 | Backfiring Stapler

Okay, now it's starting to get serious. You know day fourteen of NaPoWriMo is going to be good when the best poem you can write is one about a broken stapler.

Backfiring Stapler

One staple goes flying
through the air.
Misses the target.

Another staple,
followed by two more,
then three and four.

Before long, the walls
are dotted with staples,
and the stapler is empty.

NaPoWriMo #13 | Paper Swan

And so we return to the ever-present theme of animals for poem number thirteen of NaPoWriMo. This one is based off a great piece of art I saw on my travels once.

Paper Swan

Wings made out of forty
folded triangles, shaped
like the spires of some
enormous white temple.

A circle of spikes for feet,
a short tail of three white
feathers, a curved neck
and an arrow-shaped,
eyeless head.
