Poetry Playing: poem-a-day # 6 and # 1

April is Poetry Month. Write a poem-a-day.

The prompt for today is: Spring rain, fall gold.

Here’s my poem:

spring rain falls softly upon my

window pane, tapping lightly

on the roof nightly while i

sleep and dream down deep

plowing the fertile soil

of my soul the lord to keep

the seeds of future wonder

growing wondrous deeds in

earth rich and ripe and ready

to burst brightly in colors like

lovers kisses from old in my

memory of fall gold drifting

down upon lifting currents

whirlpools of dancing fairies

lips dark as berries and sweet

as cream and spring rain

The prompt for April 1, 2010: beginnings

Here’s my poem:

 

it’s hard to start

i

move

in fits and

stumbles

a toe stubbed

a shin splint

or split

like a busted lip

or spit

the garbage into

the trash can

crumpled

paper

pick out bits

pieces

a broken tooth pick

a bent beer bottle cap

detoured vision

birds chirping

my

thoughts

asunder

i

thunder

it’s hard to start

April is poetry month.
