Poem One: A Missed Day
I missed the first day
Of the Poem A Day command
This haiku suffices.
Last Day, Last Poem: Day 30
Creative juices flow
Sometimes like the rapids
Rushing over rocks
Sometimes like a slow creek
Gurgling over smooth stones
There is satisfaction in creation
Forming words, constructing sentences
Inventing and fabricating
Innovating and forming a unique universe
Of words that show what you see
What you feel, taste and hear
Poetry is a form of conveyance
That shouts and whispers
And lets you touch the moon.
I would like to complete this month of writing a poem a day with one of my favourite quotes about poetry: “Poetry is pulling images out of the sky, the air, the universe, and bringing them down to earth.” ~Marisa DeFranceschi.
Bliss sometimes comes from doing the hard thing. Writing a poem a day falls in this category. What else that is hard for you has turned out to be blissful?
