Na/GloPoWriMo 2026 Day 6

By Kat Myrman

good talk 

Hey, I’ve been thinking…wow! I saw that! Do NOT, roll your eyes at me…I have good thoughts…name one time my ideas didn’t work…you can’t, can you? …you know you can’t…admit it…you know I have great ideas…anyhow, I was thinking…actually, it came to me in a dream, last night…clear as day…and I actually remember it…when was the last time I remembered a dream? so you know it must be a great idea…you know?…that corner of the yard you’ve been wanting to…wait…what?…don’t you want to hear what I’ve been thinking? Oh…ooooh, sorry, I forgot…you haven’t had your coffee yet…we can talk about it after you finish work…or, uh, you have to work late? No problem. Text you? I can do that…okay, I’ll text you…you’re gonna love my idea! It’s brilliant…okay, okay, good talk…good talk…let me know what you think! I can’t wait to hear what you think.

Na/GloPoWriMo 2026 Day 6 Prompt:  try writing with a breezy, conversational tone, while including at least one thing that could only happen in a dream.

Poetry form: Run-On Poem. I been wanting to write one of these for a while. Today’s prompt was the perfect opportunity!

Today’s glimmer…spring POP! There are cute little buds popping from tree limbs everywhere! One morning I’ll wake up and the shade will have grown long under a beautiful canopy of lush green leaves. As much as my sinuses might protest (I have a nasty case of hay fever every year, often losing my speaking voice!) I do love this time of year. My hummingbird feeders are hung. Waiting patiently for our little flock to return from their tropical sabbatical! Here’s the current situation!

Morning Buds

Sunset from under the Hickory Tree

Much love, peace, and glimmers my friends. I do hope we make it to Wednesday with quiet skies around the world. IYKYK…TACO!

day 332…a day delayed

By Kat Myrman

News has been more ridiculous than usual as we watch the physical and cognitive decline of our self-proclaimed great leader. I have stopped saying it can’t get any worse, because, well, you know. But today’s (or I should say yesterday’s glimmer? (I did write most of this poem yesterday…we were just away wearing ugly sweaters and doing holiday schmoozing)…as I was saying…today’s glimmer is that maga folk are starting to wake up! I won’t gloat…or even say, “told you so” but I will write about it, because that’s what I do. 😊 who says the fall of democracy can’t be fun…well not fun exactly…but I do like a bit of sarcasm every now and then!

Much love, peace, and WOKE glimmers to you!

sycophant’s bawl

he’s been quite naked now for years
it’s true, the emperor’s insane
his court of dunces hail his name
with flattery most insincere
 
to anyone who sees, it’s clear, 
the ugly truth, they have no shame
he’s been quite naked now for years
it’s true, the emperor’s insane

they sold their souls to profiteer
for promises of power, fame
but now they know who bears the blame
oh they were duped, fed lies and fear
he’s been quite naked now for years

btw…this poetry form is called the Rondel. 

A French form consisting of 13 lines: two quatrains and a quintet, rhyming as follows: ABba abAB abbaA. The capital letters are the refrains, or repeats.
Schrödinger has the best seat in the house! Yes…Schrödinger exists, and is alive and well. 🥰

day 325

By Kat Myrman 
I’m forswunke
.
joy
in the moment
peace
amidst the chaos
it’s about being with family
each year
a time for connection
to come together
in one place
a snapshot in time

Today’s grandiloquent word of the day captures my extended weekend. My four daughters and their respective families and us get together every year the day after Thanksgiving to celebrate all of the winter holidays together. This year was hosted a half day’s drive by car away, so the trip required an overnight stay. It was a wonderful time. I loved seeing everyone.

But getting everyone packed, loaded and unpacked is quite a job. And I am exhausted…or rather forswunke – Grandiloquent’s Word of the Day for today…how ever did they know?

Actually, I think the holidays and all the festivities we try to fit in every year actually is over the top. Beginning in October and ending with the drop of the ball in Times Square on New Year’s Eve into New Year’s Day, we Americans holiday ourselves to exhaustion because…uh, because…well because it’s tradition. And as forswunke as I feel in the midst of it, and in the aftermath, it is also a treasure to me, because family is everything.

For a brief few hours we were all together and safe and happy. For a brief few hours nothing existed but my family. Tomorrow is Monday and the chaos of the world will roar back into view, but at least I had this brief holiday to remind me of what is good and lovely in my life. It will keep me through the coming winter while illustrating exactly why I will continue to fight for kindness, compassion, peace and justice for everyone. It’s worth fighting for.

Happy Holidays to you and yours. If these sound like fighting words to you, well bless your heart. We may not all celebrate this season the same way but the most important thing is that we are surrounded by those we love when we do.

Much love, peace, and glimmers to you!

Leaving you with photos of the latest critter to venture on to our tiny oasis…Einstein. Yet another tiny soul who gives me purpose. And my glimmer for today. ✨✨✨💚💚💚✨✨✨

day 294

asking for a friend

dear god,
I get it
I do…but
I was so hoping 
the rapture was
a thing … … I waited
all day, but they are
STILL HERE!

day 265

after-rain

spent storm clouds disburse 
skies blush amber-red at dusk
mist floats through the hills

For your glimmer today…a bit of humor using the photo I took of the western lawn this evening. IYKYK…☺️

Much love, peace, and comic relief glimmers after a crazy day. ~kat ✨✨✨💚💚💚✨✨✨

another rapture, another disappointing dose of reality. They’re all still here!
