NaPoWriMo, absurd, such a word I never heard.
Piqued, the curiosity, arcane mystery code to me,
what might this be? Elemental, perhaps, maybe,
will take time to ponder; 'Go brew some tea,
not the narcoleptic green, must have caffeine!'
Neuro-stimulus may bring light to shadow cloud,
enunciate this word aloud:
Na - (Nah) sodium, salt seasoning,
bitter non-sequitur reasoning.
Po - (poe) Edgar, a poet black and bleak,
meanings many there to seek, back to 'The Raven', take a peek,
nothing gained my brain's a' leak. Weak.
Polonium, oh pauvre Marie, research her tragic death cherie;
no miracle curie.
Po, a river in Italy, flows like my thoughts far away from me
enunciation will not unravel, a different path now must I travel.
Take knowledge from those who might know
the meaning of Na--Po--Wri--Mo.
Had to resort to Oracle of modern technology:
search-engine found the meaning, goodness me,
a literary challenge set for those like me!
Still I am not pleased with the knowledge from this Ark
for I am lacking creative spark
I feel bereft and incomplete
have not registered and will not compete!
