“Writing a poem is discovering” (robert frost)

022

april brings spring showers
or snow storm’s blizzard
paths blazed across a fire
demon’s slayed in corners
of dust

introspection and thought
tears falling across dirt
and suddenly an explosion
grand and furious
green buds revealed

a month of words
formed across a page
inked into soft skin
echoed in thoughts
stretched and pulled
drawn out in colour

revealing
hidden
lost
found

defining a month of heartbreak
living days of relief
coming to resolution
hope’s sunlight dance

a smile for the wind that carries words across miles of flowing river dipped in raindrops soaked in crystals of ice
lavish me with air beaming swirls of life catching the tail end of a cloud’s winged feather as i move into may

i’m sailing into may with you…
the poem a day in april is
challenging
to say the least.
but we did it! yay us!
and this photo
is beautiful in it’s lightness…
which is what i need right now…
some lightness…
some airy-ness…
a breath.

I wish April did not have to end as I drank in all the lovely words on many blogs this month. Thank you for keeping this up even through your grief. You are a gift!

“Home” was another moving piece. XXOO

These words feel like the perfect summation of my own month.
i love this about poetry, how when I read it, the lines get blurred between me and writer and all I know is - here rests truth.

flickr is playing games. I can’t see the pictures but I agree yes to discovery playing with metaphors!
And you do it so well dear!
