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.
a good poem
a good poem
a pond
plain beautiful words
floating
the moon
arranging light
perfectly
conjuring
this moment
my poems
want to run
in the sun
for some fun
get her done!
fling some mud
hear the thud
ain’t no dud!
a good poem
begin again
tomorrow when you awake
or maybe even now
you look up
ready to
BEGIN AGAIN
know you will
somehow
the middle
next comes the rough middle
the hard road of a long slog
the real work of
keep on
GOING
like walking in a bog
the beginning
first comes the beginning
the excitement of a start
the promise of
something
BIG
jitters in your heart
