RU NaPoWriMo: lonely love poem

lonely love poem

leave the dustpan out

and the laptop open

lonely isn't virtual

or lyric lonely isn't

an apparatus but

something you do

with your forearms

lodged in your stiff

shoulders and love

love love love in the

meantime

WHAT WE DO

Since 2010, Rutgers English PhD students and friends have been writing a poem a day for the month of April as part of NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month).

From the NaPoWriMo official site:

NaPoWriMo was founded in 2003, when poet Maureen Thorson decided to take up the challenge (modeled after NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month), and challenged other poets to join her. Since then, the number of participants has gotten larger every year, and many writers’ organizations, local, national and even international, organize NaPoWriMo activities.
