A Muse for a Month - Free Lines Conversed for Two Fortnights' Dispersed
Poetry Month Challenge
Two fortnights of fanciful fun -
.
Musing and amusing,
Crumbling discarded drafts
Like the season's last flakes
Of fragile frost,
Sending scraps adrift.
.
Pushing past parcels
Of projects and proposals,
Dismissing deadlines,
While tenderly touching
The poem in my pocket.
.
Farewell, fair April.
.
Your poetic marathon
Has touched the tape.
.
May flowers beckon,
Their petals peeking
Beneath the unfurling firmament above.
Does weather mean more
To a poet
Or a gardener?
.
Note:
Celebrating the month of April, which is National Poetry Month in the United States (and Poetry Month elsewhere as well), Associated Content has issued a call for free verse poetry.

Post a CommentWhat a great little poem! As a fellow writer with "other" deadlines, I love to break away and write poems too--they are so rewarding and allow you to flex your imagination.

Good musing for April!
But which needs a weatherman to know which way the wind blows?
:) Here I thought you did your composing at the computer.
Wow! You are so talented.
This is such a visual poem, excellent.
Fun.
