NaPoWriMo: ReadWritePoem Prompt #6




today we celebrate a special day
nyesha's and nika's birthday
later we have cake and ice cream
later we run around and scream
this is the year that we turn four
gift wrappers and party hats on the floor
i wish i could talk to the little me
i'd whisper, "don't give up on writing, see?
you'll be a poet, broke, but glad
other jobs will only make you sad."

Check the post that inspired this poem.



P.S. My actual birthday is today...which is the other inspiration for this poem.

Thank you for the birthday wishes.
@rallentanda Don't be depressed. I'm really an alien from another planet.

@vizionheiry Nika is my Godsister and not a blood relative, but we grew up together like sisters.
