Noctuary

NMaybe it’s too much caffeine late at night or an unfortunate event in the last hours of the day. Whatever leads you to insomnia, how do you use those hours? For a while I kept a dream journal but it interfered with my sleep. Okay, not funny. Seriously, does anyone keep a noctuary journal? Whether it’s dreams, thoughts, or midnight memories it could lead to interesting stories.

Mytacism

M

My muse might mimic mytacism. Minding my Ms must mean my momentum meanders.  Memoirs move me momentarily motionless. Mothers mood makes many mistakes. Maybe maniacal madness motivates my mental maneuver. Memories minimize mindful meditation. Misbehaving MZ mentions many maudlin memories manipulating mysterious moods.

Your turn – pick a letter.

Logastellus

LThis month has been an interesting A to Z challenge to find appropriate words that having something to do with writing or my memoir. I won’t be ordering any Marjorie Witt, Logastellus business cards. While I claim to have a love for words, I’ll admit my passion exceeds my knowledge of words. But memory often fails me and a year from now I’d wonder what I am.

Kyrielle

Today I veer Kfrom the normal

With twisted words of what I know

One beginning never ending

I never could write poetry

 

Twas looking to find a k word

Something to do with writing this

Hit or miss this is what I found

I never could write poetry

 

C’est la vie I say as I write

Kyrielle is French but I am not

I never could write poetry

 

Jejune

JAnother fear of writing has surfaced recently. The fear of staying within my current state of verbal bankruptcy. The A to Z list of words becomes an unwelcome daily prompt. My blog seems dull, naive and boring. I borrow motivational quotes from Cow Pasture Chronicles and hang them above my screen, retaliation to my inner critique. This is not jejune. It’s my sixty-seven words a day commitment.
