Off Topic – NaPoWriMo/GloPoWrMo Challenge Day 25
the night
looms black, heavy
with rain, distant flashes
of light illuminate the sky,
thunder

Off topic today for NaPoWriMo/GloPoWriMo Challenge Day 25. I did the exercise eking out an extremely long diatribe of drivel…I wrote and wrote and wrote and keep writing as instructed, but found the resulting verse rather self indulgent and verbose. It is storming tonight. I settled on a familiar form, the Cinquain, for this, the 25th day.
