A poetry pole for sharing poems with my neighborhood

I hope you are enjoying this array of topics.  I promise a post on vegetable gardening is coming up.

We are a third of the way through the month of April.  And a third of a the way through National/Global poetry writing month.  There may be more people than usual trying their hands at words on a page which as far as I’m concerned, is lovely.  If you haven’t tried to discover your creative side yet (no pressure, just a thought), maybe take a break from cleaning, work, making masks, fighting with your kids to do just that (imagine what you could do with five minutes or fifteen.)

Here’s my poem of the day, a hay(na)ku or variation on a haiku

April 10

Birds
Tweet mornings
joyous sunny pledge

Swear
on branches
of greening trees

What
pleasant promise
of daylight released

Embeds
our steps
with tacit hope

Sunset
will surely
honor our oath.
