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
Sunday’s Glow
Sunday almost slipped on by
but lucky me I realized why
I felt something not quite right
my poem almost wasn’t quite
but here I am, late I know
I got it done in Sunday’s glow
The Unexpected
When the unexpected
comes walking through the door
do you turn the light on
and develop a rapport?
Or do you shriek and shudder,
hope it goes away?
Keep my days the same please!
My order it must stay!
This choice can be divisive
with some on either side.
Embrace the change, enjoy the ride!
Shut the curtains and let’s hide!
No matter your persuasion,
to embrace or deny change,
you can indeed expect it
for life is often rearranged.
