NaPoWriMo: here’s our daily (optional) prompt. Sawako Nakayasu’s poem “Improvisational Score” is a rather surreal prose poem describing an imaginary musical piece that proceeds in a very unmusical way. Today, try your hand at writing your own poem in which something that normally unfolds in a set and well understood way — like a baseball game or dance recital – goes haywire, but is described as if it is all very normal.

One-Napowrimo-Garden Log: Morning Report

I stretch and stretch and pull weeds from around
the blood-dripping hibiscus—still leaking despite last week’s pruning. The
Ixora has developed short tentacles again. They’re within acceptable length but
have begun waving and dancing mid-air, which may require intervention if it
continues during pollination hours.
