Day 29, do a freewrite on a noun from one of your favorite poems. The poem I chose is The Best Drink by Lee Upton.
Icarus
Icarus
All poets
write
a poem of
Icarus.
Just like a
basket
cannot carry
fruit
when it’s
full of holes,
his wings
failed him,
feather and
wax
melted by
the sun
just as my
pen
cannot carry
my thoughts
many slip
away
fall
die on the
air.
My own wings
of ink and paper
can only
carry me so close
to the sun
before they will char
and burn
into flame
Before I,
too, will fall
Into
failure.
