Attempting the Challenge
I take on the challenge,
But think myself handicapped
By insufficient inspiration.
No poems have burst forth
From my heart and mind
For over a year now.
Why should I suddenly
Be able to write a poem
Every day for a month?
I want to own a new lease
On my poetic life
With poems pouring out.
However, I am unsure
That I am capable
Of completing the task.
I must be resolute
And make my best effort:
Nothing is gained without struggle.

My Master and Me
The world is a huge place
I take up so little space.
My master is strong
I do as she says and come along.
Every day is an adventure
My thoughts are sweet and pure.
I am a puppy dog
I like it when we jog.
My master is the leader
I try hard to delight her.
I have great love and joy
I am better than any toy.
My master is adorable
I please her when I am able.

Positive Experience
It is great to be writing again
Even if I am not inspired
Perhaps the daily practice
Will eventually lead to revelation.
I use prompts and exercises
To get the words flowing
Anything to get my mind going
In a productive direction.
I write to please myself
With little thought of
Anyone else who might
Read my feeble attempts.
It is a positive experience
Putting words on the page
Even if I do not think them
As good as those in the past.
A little time and I will have
An abundance of pieces
Written with more effort
Than if I had not tried at all.
