For 2011's National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo), Troy's Work Table is attempting to write thirty poems in thirty days without the help of writing prompts from other websites.
Many of these are still in some sort of draft stage, but that is the nature of the Work Table.

BROKEN
For one it was a broken hand
another, a broken head
another, a broken heart
it was all monkey see, monkey do
see no evil, hear none, speak none
yet they tried to link their bones
into one framework, one skeleton
that merely lumbered about
like a diseased silverback gorilla
without focus, without aim, lacking direction
a wheel without spokes
slightly bent out of shape
like a hard-boiled egg
that hadn’t been properly
tested in the flames

I really liked the tone of this and how it just all really came together. Nice job. :)
