I Can't Write a Poem Today

Today is Day 24 of NaPoWriMo. Although I am excited to be writing poetry every day this month, some days feel harder than others. Today is one of those days where I feel uninspired. I started writing several poems and nothing felt right, so I deleted all of those attempts at poetry and decided to just let loose and be silly. Then I finally created this poem:

I Can't Write a Poem Today
By Candace Shultz

I can't write a poem today

because today is Sunday

because I wrote one yesterday

because the sky is gray

because I'd rather play

because I don't want to stay

and write and write away

for the 24th day.
