This was a project I did basically during the pandemic. I started writing a poem a day. Once ‘real life’ started again it got harder to write everyday, which is interesting.
I have started to edit some of these mostly the kids poetry. I think there might be enough here for a book. We shall see.
I make no claim that much of this is “good” poetry. But I do make the claim that I loved doing it and I learned something and some of it makes me cry.
bird song rings
rain beats down
thunder crashes
soil swells
lightning flashes
wind blows hard
clouds roll on
bird song rings
spring blooms, life dawns
the rabbits!!
yesterday I blamed the squirrel
but another earns its own conferral
the rabbits!! — the beasts that bear a mention
who do deserve their own attention
they gnaw and chew and eat away
those flowers never will see the light of day
another rain rhyme
I’m sure you are bored of hearing
of rain and clouds never clearing
but I woke again to wet and rain
a weather poem again, again!
I’m sure this pattern soon will break
a new view then these words can take
but until that glorious time
another rain rhyme I must find!
sneeze and sneeze
before my eyes
outside does wake
a flood of green
will overtake
the air soon filled
with scent and breeze
I do prepare
to sneeze and sneeze!
