NAPOWRIMO26 #15: found poem (in a hopeless place)

#prompt: write a poem that muses on love but isn’t a traditional love poem in the sense of expressing love between romantic partners #so this is a found poem made out of the titles of various books and articles that came up when i searched “love” on the internet archive #+ on my school's library database. so some of them were academic articles etc. idk i thought it would be a really fun way to approach--#a nontrad love poem. and i was right. it was fun. and i like it. idc if it ''makes sense'' or ''is good''.#and yes of course the title is a play on rihanna's we found love in a hopeless place. but it's a found poem. so. i think i'm funny #napowrimo #napowrimo 2026 #found poem #found poetry #love poem #love poetry #spilled ink #poetry #poets on tumblr #poetry on tumblr #glopowrimo #poems on tumblr #writeblr #poem #writers on tumblr #writing on tumblr #national poetry month #image description in alt #damien.txt

NAPOWRIMO26 #10: honey, ask me, i should know

#(with apologies to Hozier for shamelessly stealing the title from From Eden. it's just that innocence died screaming yk)#prompt: write a meditation on grief using a few short stanzas in which the middle section repeats a question and gives different answers.#okay so every year i write a grief poem for napowrimo about dead brothers and this year i said NEVER LET THEM KNOW YOUR NEXT MOVE #so this is a poem about the weird grief of like. when your childhood was fucked up & you grieve the childhood you didn't get to have--#and the life you didn't live and the person you never were. & also the weird place you get to when you've spent most of your life grieving-#this only to realise that you actually really love your current life. & that if you went back to change things so you Had A Childhood--#your current life would no longer exist. and neither would you. and having to contend with that.#idk i like the concept at the core of this piece but the actual execution is meh to me. but today got away from me (common refrain)#so this is what i have. see you tomorrow #napowrimo #napowrimo 2026 #spilled ink #poetry #poets on tumblr #poetry on tumblr #glopowrimo #poems on tumblr #writeblr #poem #writers on tumblr #writing on tumblr #national poetry month #image description in alt #damien.txt

NAPOWRIMO26 #9: love songs from the universe

picture of my cat that i used to make this concrete poem below the cut!

#prompt: write a poem in the voice of an animal or plant.#this is a poem about my cat in which i try his voice on multiple times.#also a revamping of an old piece which i like better now!#little lore behind this one: my father used to say that he thought the language of the universe was the sound of a cat purring #so i played with that idea here. also when my cat sleeps he curls up like a nautilus shell. eg the logarithmic spiral.#this too is the shape of the universe. or at least the universe's favourite shape.#anyway i hate making concrete poems but i really tried here. see it's my cat curled up sleeping.#napowrimo #napowrimo 2026 #spilled ink #poetry #poets on tumblr #poetry on tumblr #glopowrimo #poems on tumblr #writeblr #poem #writers on tumblr #writing on tumblr #national poetry month #concrete poem #concrete poetry #visual poem #visual poetry #cat poem #cat poetry #image description in alt #damien.txt

NAPOWRIMO26 #8: [possession]

NAPOWRIMO26 #7: The Shear-Bones Man

#prompt: write a poem inspired by clapping games / jump rope / skipping rhymes. should be sing-songy + good for clapping or jumping around to #i was like. cool let's do a silly one today! and then i wrote whatever the fuck this is.#idk i started thinking about how grim a lot of those childhood rhymes were in origin (yk. pocket full of posies and london bridge and all.)#and how much kids love doing things that are scary for no reason (bloody mary / scary stories to tell in the dark / etc)#and i watched the first ep of ancient magus bride last night so i was thinking about bone men i guess?#then i wrote a jumprope rhyme by way of edward gorey lol. this is a very unserious poem. but i had fun. + that's what it's all about kids.#napowrimo #napowrimo 2026 #spilled ink #poetry #poets on tumblr #poetry on tumblr #glopowrimo #poems on tumblr #writeblr #poem #writers on tumblr #writing on tumblr #national poetry month #image description in alt #damien.txt

NAPOWRIMO26 #6: i don't want the last thing you inspired in me to be pity

#prompt: try writing with a breezy conversational tone while including at least one thing that could only happen in a dream.#this was tough bc i feel like i always kind of write like i talk. and i've never had a breezy conversation in my life.#but i've been trying to write some kind of version of this poem since july so! we take the win and muddle through.#i will probably need to do some edits on this puppy at some point. but for now i've been messing with it for entirely too many hours.#spilled ink #poetry #poets on tumblr #poetry on tumblr #napowrimo #napowrimo 2026 #glopowrimo #poems on tumblr #writeblr #poem #writers on tumblr #writing on tumblr #national poetry month #image description in alt #damien.txt
