The writing prompts from NaPoWriMo have been inspiring. I followed one again today. It suggests a "rework" of an Emily Dickinson poem, as taught by Anne Boyer. I kept the title and first line of Emily's Forever – is composed of Nows – but without the endearing long dashes, and rewrote a version, in homage, of course. 

Forever is composed of Nows

Forever is composed of nows
As Tolle says: The Power of Now
Is all we need
There never is a different time

But how is it that Emily
Did say this first in her own way?
Preserve the date
On which she wrote her ideas down

It’s true his ideas followed hers
And came in books while hers, in verse
Remove the dates
No different their fears would be

Let months dissolve in further months
And years exhale for each instance
They were both right
To so explain the moment’s game
