Celebrating Poetry

Poetry is an act of peace. - Pablo Neruda

This week, poetic thoughts were spinning and dancing in my head as I observed nature and wrote. Everywhere I went it seemed as if poetry was in motion. At the end of this weekend, I celebrate the warmth of spring days, the beauty of the earth, and the joy of writing poetry.

Here is this week's collection for #poemaday during National Poetry Month

Phragmites

xanthous perennials

guarding, standing, swaying

slender, graceful grassy beauties

reeds

Darkness, I've come

to talk with you.

Within the silence,

I listen,

sharing sounds 

I know.

Silence G R O W S.

Hear my words.

Like silent raindrops fall

                                            ing,

                                                                                        they form - are written.

Springtime renews earth

with its tender touch.

Opens the flowers

bursting with joy.

Revitalizes hearts

weary from a winter sleep.

Tomorrow’s in our hands,

Fragile earth,

Poetry’s perspective

Looking down from the universe.

Keep it safe,

You're no ordinary world-
Heaven's poetry to us!
Keep it safe 
Cause it's our world!
