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
before the rain
the air hangs heavy
full with the promise of change
awaiting release
she smells the sweet new future
while storms build just out of view
