2015 Fill Life with Poetry Campaign

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.

As part of my “2015 Fill Life with Poetry” campaign I am offering my downloadable poetry broadsides for an even more affordable price.

Now you can get your own print for $15!

This is a high quality PDF that you can download and print (either at home or at your favorite copy shop).

The broadside available now is a light sage featuring a watercolored photo of a wreath and a poem about family.

This year we want to get more poetry out into the world so for 2015 we are offering the downloadable poetry broadsides for $15

So get it and print it out and hang it on your wall. It looks great framed too.

Here is to a poetic 2015,
