Hi there 🙂
So there were no rhyme or syllable restrictions in Maureen’s NaPo prompt today:
“Begin by reading Charles Simic’s poem The Melon…The poem illuminates the juxtaposition between grief and joy, sorrow and reprieve. For today’s challenge, write a poem in which laughter comes at what might otherwise seem an inappropriate moment – or one that the poem invites the reader to think of as inappropriate.” [from here]
I’m just not sure I can go on, Deirdre. 
I know you’re always telling me to play more,
Relax a little, “enjoy any patch of sunshine” –
But it’s just feeling so hard these days, you know?
Deirdre yawns fanged boredom,
Prods her paws into the lap of her luxury;
While a seagull cackles,
Sharing a joke with the wind.
Another short one today 🙂 Meet you back here for Day 6!
