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.
about the rain
watching the grey sky
I wonder about the rain
crying tears of joy
or weeping streams of sadness
both whetting the will to grow
Trust the Truth
Outside leaves rain down
Blanketing the waiting ground
A hushed reminder
We all need warmth in winter
Trust the truth of those you touch
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
just do it
calm water beckons
dive in to the deep unknown
risk for something new
moments slip quickly away
hesitation no refuge
