It's Been A While…National Poetry Month 2015

Apparently I didn't post on this blog at all last year…and I don't remember how well I did in writing poetry in April 2014 anyway - can find out on the National Poetry Month page on Facebook easy enough (I think).

I have written poetry every day this month though - thus far…

Here are my offerings for those first 12 days of April 2015:

1 Apr 15

Wanting rain not sun
Loving sun, needing water
How dry we are now

2 Apr 15

Wanting rain, not wind
Wind drying, water better
Drier we are now

3 Apr 15

Mother moon, new moon
Black moon, super moon, bleak days
Full moon, red moon, why?
Omens portend scary nights
What man breaks, nature makes right

4 Apr 15

Being female, I have
an internal inferno
that comes on at night
sleep disturbances are rife
Change of Life not so much fun

5 Apr 15

Rain? Naught but rumors of rain

Yet not a drop against my windowpane

Weathercaster's April Fool's joke

But wait, what's that sound?

The patter of drops on my windowpane!

Rumors of rain made real

6 Apr 15

Through the tear-stained pane
Flowers, yellow and purple
Comfort my sorrow
Knowing you're gone forever
Your garden is memory

7Apr 15

Thunder and lightning 

Not so very frightening 

Hail and funnel clouds

Furious rain against panes

Thank you, blest Mother Nature!

8 Apr 15

Snow on mountain peaks
Gold at the end of rainbow
Water's sweet relief

9 Apr 15

Writer's block have I
Poem, poem, where are you?
Made eight days - now nine!


 10 Apr 15

Friday eve, full week
Fingers not yet bony
Rather, brain tired

Two for 12 Apr 15 (oops…)

Healthy, wealthy, wise
how have definitions changed
from Ben Franklin's time?

and here's poem #12 for the month…
values, principles
all boil down to our own
personal ethics
