The April Poetry Craze has begun. This is my third April Poem-A-Day round. And we have anniversary over at Wordsmith Studio, too.
As a starter, today, I wrote to three prompts. Of course, this will hardly go on like this till end April.
Here are my three poems for Day One: Haiku Heights: Ascent; Poetic Asides: A New Arrival and to NaPoWriMo: borrowed first line.
April #01
1. Haiku Heights – Ascend
evaporating
puffs encourage blossoms
they wait, looking up
##
2. Poetic Asides – A new arrival
Blurring my eyes
A smiling face
peeking
from behind the
baby blanket.
My senses are sharpened
and dulled, all the same.
Time is flexible
and I remember not
if it runs fast or
is just non-existent.
Lose all mirrors.
For they show
all those tiny wrinkles
not so tiny anymore.
##
3. NaPoWriMo – A first line
(which I borrowed from Byron)
She walks in beauty
I drag along
All tired
Cursing
Her demonic grace
Embracing every curb
that meets my smile
All corners’ edges
Extend their sticky fingers
to enwrap me.
She walks in beauty
I drag along
in misery.
