NaPM 2024 Spotlight Thread

[RiverNotch]

Continuing last year's experiment, or maybe in celebration of the Pigpen's 11th NaPM,

Here you can spotlight a poem (or poems) from this year's NaPM that you think worthy of honorable mention.   

Rules:
* Please post all poems to be spotlighted as a reply to this thread. Do not start a new thread. 
* Please do not spotlight your own poems.  
* Please do credit the author of the poem---the clearest way to do this would be to post the poem inside the 'quote' box that shows who said it.
* Please do remind us what the prompt was and which day, or post a link to the original for reference.  
* You can post just the poem, or you can write a little blurb about why you are recommending it. Either is fine. In this thread, a simple "I really liked this" is perfectly acceptable. 
* You can spotlight more than one if you wish. 

Often it is easy to think of these rushed poems as 'throw away' poems, or practice. This is a good place to let an author know if one might be worth pulling out of the bunch and polishing up.  Also, it's a nice way to encourage one another. 

General NaPM reminders:
* You are all definitely allowed to take your own poems from the NaPM threads and re-post them in the workshops to keep tinkering. (Maybe one at a time of course.)  Just don't forget to post feedback in the workshops if you do that.  
* You are all definitely allowed to keep posting poems in the NaPM threads.  Perhaps you missed a few days (unlike the one who originally wrote this write-up, I didn't  ) or perhaps you have a fresh idea for a prompt you already answered.  These threads are always open to new poems.

The purpose of this thread is simply to have a bit of fun and to celebrate the efforts of our wonderful members after this gruelling month (or maybe to stroke our egos a touch  ).

I want to add that this is the first NaPM I've handled where the entire month fell under Lent, so I decided to select and arrange prompts according to a certain theme. Can you guess what it is, or what the "hidden meaning" behind each prompt is? Though for some days it gets kinda obvious, and for others the prompt is only very loosely associated with its "meaning".
