Day One

Being the first day of NaPoWriMo, I awoke to a push poem tapping on my shoulder.  I'll take some time later to explain push poems (and give proper credit to Katerina Stoykova-Klemer for the concept).  This particular little bugger wanted me to write about different things that I had given up.  And with it being the Lent season, I felt it would make for an appropriate prompt.  So today, fellow poets in the pursuit, write about something (or someone, even) you have given up.  As I always recommend, give yourself a set time frame to just write and let your pen, pencil, or your fingers go.  I usually do at least 15- to 20-minute free writing.  Don't stop.  Keep going.  Please take more time if you catch a good ride.
