Day 2 - did not use the NaPoWriMo prompt, but was inspired by an image brought to mind after listening to a song. Short poem for today.

Electric crackle through the soul
Dusty shafts in gloomy rooms
The needle drops, commence the sound
Whirring, purring, round and around.

From Imaginary Garden's prompt:

"For your word list challenge today, I ask that you write an original poem (or re-work an older pen) in the spirit of the book, using at least 3 of these words, post to Mr. Linky, and then return to visit and comment on all the other posts. I'll be sure to visit periodically in the days to come in case you choose to join later."

Sitting On A Bench In The Park On A Sunny Day

A man sat on the bench next to me - in his hand a notebook. "Do you come here often?" he asks. I question my instinct.
Ravens caw loudly above, a whole crew of them circling the area. Black against the yellow sun. I look like a foreigner, an artist.
It is the man, he has said so. My metal badges clink as I retrieve a pen from my bag, my metal badges are my foreigner's label
