NaPoWriMo Prompt

And now, to round out our first day, here’s our optional prompt! As with pretty much any discipline, music and art have their own vocabulary. Today, we challenge you to take inspiration from this glossary of musical terms, or this glossary of art terminology, and write a poem that uses a new-to-you word. For (imaginary) extra credit, work in a phrase from, or a reference to, the Florentine Codex.


My Poem

Lieto Fine

(Happy Ending)


We needed no name for our city.

Awake now I know the Nahuatl

Call it Teotihuacan,

The town of god.


Farmers and fishermen,

Warriors and hunters,

Live in a dream

Of living in this town.


Waking from a dream of living.

Now among the gods,

I am alive.
