A poem

 A poem


For me a poem 

is a little song

like a bird’s song

that you hear 

and then it’s gone

but the memory

lingers on.





Day 26 prompt: Today, we challenge you to write your own ars poetica, giving the reader some insight into what keeps you writing poetry, or what you think poetry should do.

    Listen,
    upon the air,
    what sweet sound
    wakes me with poetry
    that anyone would know,
    that brings to my heart
    a light to carry me
    through one
    more day?
