Hello everyone;
I did say "haphazardly" participating in the April PAD Challenge. This is why day one is being posted after day two.
Day 1 prompt of "write an optimistic poem"
Not Dead Yet, Me
Is it really such a tragedy
that my sentences are raggedy
words tread together by similarity?
The conversation is still defiantly
expressions of me.
Is it really such a travesty
that I wander aimlessly?
When I can travel through time so easily
…our life history
…a life lived outrageously.
Is it really such a disparity
that I have forgotten the melody
of your name? Still there’s some clarity….
I know the feelings of family
and passions intensity.
Is it really such an indignity
that something once familiar is now a novelty.
Or that simple tasks escape me.
I still dance to life’s jamboree
and sing majestically.
Is it really such a finality
even as I become more absentee?
There is plenty of life in my legacy.
Don’t bother writing my eulogy,
when there’s still time to create a memory.

Day 11
The prompt today was to write a statement as the title and let the poem expand or finish the statement.
A Picture Paints a Thousand Words
The moon hangs high
and the slumbering sun flips over
smiling at the earth’s other side.
There’s no time to waste
the train’s on time and we are late.
Grab your bag
don’t hesitate.
Just over there the sun swims
in a crystal lake.
Tomorrow lies ahead
and my love won’t end.
Your dreams await
beyond the garden gate
where you can ride the moon
and kiss the stars.
It does’t all make sense, that’s true
but dreams rarely do.
