I found a prompt that referenced "singing sands" (I think it was one of Marie Lightman's, but I have closed the window now...). I took just the "sand" part of that...

I apologise for not really commenting anybody else's poems. I'm running as fast as I can just to stay in the race...

Not following any prompt and blatantly cheating now...

http://www.ianbadcoe.uk/2017/04/napowri ... -love.html

Official prompt: http://www.napowrimo.net/day-eleven-5/ -- which is a sort of enhanced sonnet, tempting...

Official prompt: http://www.napowrimo.net/day-ten-5/ I'll see if I can scare up some others later...
