Poem-A-Day Challenge
This April I am taking part in the Writer’s Digest Poem-A-Day Challenge. Writing one poem each day of the month in addition to my other commitments is going to be tough, but hey, who likes the easy life!
April 1st prompt: beginnings/endings.
Here are my two offerings:
.
plum blossoms
the beginning of all
affairs

how many days
she waits by the window
to the empty street…
waiting for dusk
this unlived life
.
There are many poetic offerings on the site, and I look forward to reading them and following up on poets. Click here for the link to Day 1.
So, Robert Lee Brewer, bring them on!
