Tell me how to string words
so you might feel my heart
Do I need a secret password
to unlock love's poetic art
Tell me how to decipher words

Do I need to solve life's crossword
give me a clue and I will start

Today's challenge write a poem - "Tell" (blank) fill the blank in with a word or phrase
Where o’ where are flowers of spring
did mother nature make a mistake
for rain, sleet and snow she did bring
blue heron seeking balance by the lake
a goose honking, robins don’t sing
this cold weather is difficult to shake
where o’ where are flowers of spring
Writer's Digest 2024 April Pad Challenge Day 4

Driving my car in the morning light
turning on the radio to the sound of RUSH
we have freewill, can we decide right
sunrise arrives in stillness, a silent hush
Turning on the radio to the sound of RUSH
the melody closing in, closer to the heart
sunrise arrives in stillness, a silent hush
in the distance the moon slowly departs
The melody closing in, closer to the heart
my tears fall, listening to a love song
in the distance the moon slowly departs
wiping my eyes, I softly sing along….
My tears fall, listening to a love song
we have freewill, can we decide right
wiping my eyes, I softly sing along
driving my car in the morning light

Marveling at your contours and gracefulness
your branches arch creating a canopy
that dares to kiss the lips of earth
slowly flowering in the light of spring
your roots thirst for growth...
I am optimistic that poets will always
find your beauty alluring

writing an optimistic poem Day 1
In a dream a long time ago
I wandered on the edge of darkness
wondering if light would ever show
the black cobra sky, hissed, starless
A shaman greeted me on the trail
do you walk with the shadow people
discovering mysteries beyond the veil
can you see with the eyes of an eagle
I invite you to think about “now” a bit more
what will bring you joy in the morning light
spring is filled with small wonders to explore
have you ever seen a bird take it's first flight
My heart heavy from the weekend snow
I wandered on the edge of darkness
wondering where is the sun’s warm glow
seeking a refuge, a place of calmness
The trees of the forest bend and moan
storytellers, will share how they came to be
mysteries runs deep, filled with unknowns
drift into a lucid dream, I think you will agree
Past the darkness, there is always light….
let us fine a way for it to shine, forever bright

Today, I thought of you and days gone past
our zany adventures into the unknown
dreamy visions , poetry enthusiasts
collecting our pouches of healing stones
never knowing how long the quest would last
on feather light wings our spirits have flown
following the rhythmic beat of bird song
rays of hope, in the golden light of dawn

Once, I dreamt in fields of green
in a world where all seemed serene
following the tune of a magical harp
today, the blades of grass feel sharp
my heart aches and poetry hurts
thoughts are tumbleweeds in the desert
of my wandering mind....
