Day 20 ... NaPoWriMo / Poem-a-Day 2017

Imagine each day a finger. Today, we're at four hands. Two hands left to go. Maureen Thorson’s NaPoWriMo prompt: "write a poem that incorporates the vocabulary and imagery of a specific sport or game. Your poem could invoke chess or baseball, hopscotch or canasta, Monopoly or jai alai. The choice is yours!" Robert Lee Brewer’s Poem-a-Day prompt: "write a task poem. The task can be some glorious duty, or it can be a seemingly small and insignificant job. Or the poem can take someone to task. It’s your task to figure it out and write it." Both Alan and I are melding the prompts today, shuffling the cards, and dealing the hands. Hang Time A certain so-called point guard has been lobbing air ball tweets from downtown, setting blindside screens to fake out everyone from the Russian run-and-gun, unsportsman-like fouls by his coach.
