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.

A Kiss
Tender lips
wet with blueberry gloss
wide with innocence
laughing at what I just said.
“Do it then” you dared.
Defiant lips glistening
now a hard pressed line.
In a blushing rush
I gave you my first kiss.
Well I’m doing it again. I Just finished up the last poetry challenge by turning it into She Too and now I am doing another poetry challenge. This one is 31p31d hosted by John Hewitt author of the blog Poewar/Writer’s Resource Center and the poetry book Extended Stay.
The prompt today was to write a poem about something you gave away as a child.
Thank you for joining me on this poetic journey of decanting my soul.
How sweet! I love your poem challenges. I wish you all the best! Your last challenge was EXCELLENT :)!
