Poetry is not just a bunch of words
it's imagery of nature and bird-songs
it's a feeling watching wild water birds
poetry is not just a bunch of words
it's seeing a sacred buffalo herd
it's finding a place where our heart belongs
poetry is not just a bunch of words
it's imagery of nature and bird-songs
For Susan's prompt
Please write a poem on the theme of poetry, the topic "Why I write it" or "What it is" or "What it should be."
Writer's Digest 2024 April Pad Challenge Day 17
For today's prompt, take the phrase "Not (blank)," replace the blank with a new word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem.
Thank you for reading! May poetry be a part of your life journey! It's everywhere...

ReplyDeleteThe natural world is full of poetry. Thank you, my friend
DeleteYou are right, Truedessa. Poetry is MUCH more than "just a bunch of words." You have written about what it IS so well.
