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
