April. National Poetry Month. What did I forget?

I forgot that it was APRIL, in my excitement that it was my Spring Break!

So, a quick link to the National Poetry Writing Month webiste. I encourage you to explore other poets’ work this month, too. The participants’ list has many talented and clever writers (and a few at my own level).

I will write two poems a day until I catch up…

Poem #1

They say
forgetfulness is a symptom of old age
and in this year of my aging
I am forgetful
at times
and at other times
I remember.

Poem #2

chartreuse chandeliers
golden goblets
pink pom-poms
ruby-throated ringmasters
delightful dance

(the hummingbirds circle maples, daffodils and cherry blossoms)
