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.
good covers all
kind, warm and bright
here comes the sun
the end of night
the darkness done
light prevails
good covers all
keep hope alive
let evil fall
be a dear friend
we see that way
an old dry leaf
a cold dark day
the scent of grief
night descends
turn on your light
be a dear friend
kind, warm and bright
we choose each day
the colors right
before our eyes
the darkest earth
a bright blue sky
these are gifts
we choose each day
the question if
we see that way
a tapestry
the thread of days
joined one by one
a tapestry
when all is done
to look back
enjoy the sight
of a life lived
the colors right
these faces stay
dear hearts around
all gathered close
the friends you keep
those loved the most
time will pass
these faces stay
weave through your life
the thread of days
when night gets cold
the place to be
when night gets cold
when time does pass
when you get old
deep within
the comfort found
inside yourself
dear hearts around
