Patience ~ NaPoWriMo Day 6

Waiting, Bicycle Rickshaw Line, Lajpat Nagar Metro Station, New Delhi, India

In a city of thrum and hum
Always in motion
Always in commotion
Whose voice knows only to shout

Islands of quiet patience
Await their moment
To rejoin the miasma
Of humanity

NaPoWriMo/GloPoWriMo 2025

Day 6

What is NaPoWriMo? National Poetry Writing Month.  AKA GloPoWriMo for Global Poetry Writing Month because, you know, it’s a worldwide event. During the month of April, poets challenge themselves to write at least one poem a day, every day, for the entire month. So, 30 poems in 30 days.

I’ve been in a writing slump this year, so hopefully this will kickstart me back into it. 😉 It’s worked in the past. 🙂

If you’d like to join in, or just want to learn more about this annual poetry writing event, the more-or-less official website is NaPoWriMo.net.

I am also one of the admins for a small, private FB group, NaPoWriMo/GloPoWriMo 2025 if you want to follow other poets on their journey.
