Can't Beat the View
Monday night I gave myself a challenge...to write a poem by Wednesday blog time. After all, it is National Poetry Month! I felt I must write at least one...
I write all different kinds of ways. Sometimes a sentence pops into my head and I go from there...sometimes it starts with images...but lately, I've been picking random words and forming an instinctual poem with them.
I usually choose around ten...and then am off. I try not to labor too hard over the finished product...I guess it's sort of a quick-fire challenge with words.
This was my list...gathered from items on my desk.
Guide
Copy
Complex
Be
Star
Top
Art
Mark
Accent
Now
Forward Motion
Guide me to the top.
Your star,
marking now,
and what will be.
No copies please---
Give me Art
and colorful accents...
All those complex fears
simplified into love...
And courage.
XO
