All my creative pursuits.
Lavender mist, drenched in color
Fed by love and sun and water
Or petals wither, fade and pale
Saturate moss and leaves exhale
Treat with tenderness, gently nurture
Like a new love, delicate orchid
Inspired by Emily’s post… I was feeling pretty low on Wednesday, but flowers always make me smile. Especially the ones that bloom again and again.
The other day my friend Emily, talented poet, musician, artist and all around lovely person, asked her readers to suggest ideas for poetry themes. I suggested “shipwreck” and the following is the powerful and emotional poem she wrote based on that prompt. Please enjoy and visit Emily’s blog for more of her inspired and amazing writing!
No matter how much that I wish it
No matter how pretty I dish it
I’m a one trick pony
Who hopes that you only
Get a laugh from my silly horse shit!
Inspired by What Sandra Thinks: The poet. It’s a hilarious look at poets and poetry. All in good fun, we aspire to do better, don’t we?
