It's National Poetry Month AND prom season!
Here'a a little something to honor both:
Hail, Poetry,
My high-falutin’ friend.
You dress the ordinary in organza
Like a tomboy at her first prom,
Bedazzled by her beauty.
Challenge:
How does poetry enhance your life? What would you compare it to?
Poetry, you
ReplyDeleteare my curse,
always there
like a scrawny
cat outside
my door
following my
comings and goings
with wide, sad eyes,
waiting for a pat,
a word, or a random
cup of milk,
anything acknowledging
your persistent presence.
I have little
time for useless
beasts, no matter
how pathetic. Still
you wait, with the patience
of all felines,
for me to come out
one morning and bring
you in from the cold,
to feed you fish
and give you a place
in my lap. Why do
I neglect you?
Because I know
when all else is gone,
you will still be there,
oh, space between
all words,
oh, soul of my soul.
Oh, that is SO right!!!
