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.

Hello April, National Poetry Month, and all of you it is day one of Poem-A-Day. Let’s have some poetry fun, what do you say!
Today had two prompts 1. write a beginning poem 2. write an ending poem or mix the two.
Starts
Spring a closer of sorts
heralding winter’s end
with robin trills and daffodils.
While dormant yellows brighten
to tiny shoots of green.
Lusterless frost turns to dew
tiny buds turn to blooms.
From the mound
a pitch is thrown
Crack!
Cheers rain down
a diamond field.
Pop flies and Cracker Jacks
it’s Opening Day!
