I am a bunch of self imposed rules
that make me worry
that make me fret
I am an antenna
that turns signals into static
Don’t make me think
I’ll start
but I won’t stop
The prompt for #NaPoWriMo day 25 was warning label about yourself.
Today I want to feature Big sleep by Christopher Perry and Barbara Turney Wieland, alias Johnny and Woody. I love poems with an unexpected ending. When you’re there, also visit Terminus, about the times when everything ran on parallel lines.


I love the spareness of this, Angela, and “antenna that turns signals into static.” I’m still puzzling over the last three lines…
Dear Angela. Thank you for featuring Big sleep and Terminus from the site http://www.woodyandjohnny.wordpress.com
FYI, the poems are written by a tandem writing team, Chris Perry being one half of this.
I love your poem btw. Perfect!
I didn’t know that, thanks for letting me know! Shall I add the second name (and just to check: which one should that be?)
Hi Angela. Christopher Perry and Barbara Turney Wieland, alias Johnny and Woody
Sorted now, thank you! Names matter.
