At Espresso Café
use a poem to pay
for a coffee or pop.
It’s a nice place to stop.
Say hello to some friends
and discuss latest trends.
The walls full of great art
and that’s only a part
of the heart this place brings.
It’s a neighbourhood thing.
Spring Colours
brown the earth
green the grass
brown the bark
green the pine needles
brown the cones
blue the Stellar’s Jay
at the top of the tree
blue the sky
yellow the sun
black and white four eagles
circle, invisible the air currents
white the contrail
silver glint the jet
plane, that takes
blue my lover’s eyes
across red maple leaf land
to snow white TO
blue my heart
green my envy of
white collars who
take his time from me
sad my brown eyes
Good Tuesday Readers and Writers! I'm sorry I missed you yesterday, but as it was a semi-holiday, I slacked off. But none of that for the next little while. I am talking about accepting the challenge of National Poetry Writing Month. Yes, one poem a day for the entire month of April, and I will share them all with you, right here. I am excited to use the motivation of NaPoWriMo to generate a bunch of new pieces that I can later revise into finished works. Fiction Writers, think of NaNoWriMo, and imagine publicly sharing that work. Yeah, this is not about the end result. It is about the process. So, bear in mind that these poems will be first drafts, and let's have some fun with it. Regular posts will be suspended for April. The NaPoWriMo posts will each be designated with their dates. Away we go! I'll see you on Friday.
Peace, love, and joy,
Diana
