April 30 – Palinode

Hello All and welcome to the last day of NaPoWriMo 2023. Today’s prompt, “to write a palinode – a poem in which you retract a view or sentiment expressed in an earlier poem.” I scanned my month of poems, and discovered in my poem from April 8, (the 20 little poetry projects poem) that I had this line that might be fun to retract: (full disclosure, after posting this, I retracted the retracting and rearranged the poem, twice.)

Every quotable quote came from an aggrieved party”

Quotable how?
Quotable new?
Quotable now?
Quotable few

Citation thou
Citation knew
Citation bow
Citation true

Aggrieved how?
Aggrieved you?
Aggrieved now?
Aggrieved too?

Quotable how?
Quotable new
Quotable now
Quotable you!
