NaPoWriMo/GloPoWriMo
A poem a day for the poetry month of April
The sky at first appearance gray as any white car
left out of doors for a dry season
collecting a layer of dust
then as you look longer
the sky becomes more like marble
irregular white above gray
where closer to the light cast by the sun there is brilliance
Today is cold spring without ice here near the river
while a few miles north a fresh blanket of snow lies over everything
here overnight grape leaves have opened a full inch
lilac buds though like sleepy eyes trying to stay closed
It is said it will freeze again here this month
if so today is a warning to still tight buds to wait
there is a time for casting aside caution
a time for revealing what is closely held
or to hold back a bit longer
As for secrets
your people might think them delicious
until they swallow them and discover they are thorns
better ground into dust and swept out with detritus
of all used up things
#NaPoWriMo
