2018 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 29
Tomorrow is the final day of this year's challenge. Crazy!
For today’s prompt, write a remix poem. That is, take one of your poems from earlier in the month and remix it. If it was originally free verse, maybe take a few key lines and turn it into a sonnet or villanelle. Or make small changes that remix the meaning of the poem.

Here’s my attempt at a Remix Poem:
“when the cold wind blows” (triolet mix)
when the cold wind blows raw outside
i crave the solitude & rain
with nobody left to confide
as the cold wind blows on outside
leaving nowhere for me to hide
all my thoughts away from my pain--
no, the cold wind blows raw outside
craving the solitude & rain!
