It's April. It's Poetry Month!
Remember to check out the list of what everyone is doing at Jama Rattigan's blog: Jama's Alphabet Soup.
And check on the Water Poem Project where every day, a poet is sharing a prompt connected to water, hosted and created by Laura Shovan!
Plus! Today is my day to add to the Progressive Poem, created by Irene Latham, now hosted by Margaret Simon! The link is above and the graphic to the right! Come visit!
A leap with the theme of CIRCLES for poetry month, poems & small sketches. I am looking forward to reading everyone's posts. I'm sure I will love each one, knowing they're done during a time we've not lived before. I am worried about so many, those close and those far, my community, too. April 1 - haiku
April 2 - cinquain
April 3 - a couplet
April 4 - limerick
April 5 - a kyrielle
April 6 - a skinny

Best wishes for continuing good health to you all!
Window View
A peek outside at dawn, a glow, a blush,
a cloudless sky upon which sun rays pen.
Another day shouts “Welcome, enter spring.”
I stand and wonder what today will bring.
Then in my mind I create Thursday’s fare,
my tuned-in watching of the power talk
of ‘how’ and ‘when’ and ‘where’ will help arrive?
I shout for those who care who stay alive.
A breeze plays with a leaf across the lawn;
some early walkers walk six feet apart.
If managed well, we still can rearrange.
My plea remains, to “shout” to effect change.
I know that now we must find ways to act.
Time’s fleeing hours shout at us: “adapt”!
