It is National Poetry Month and time for me to write a poem a day for NaPoWriMo!  Here are the first two offerings.

April 1st

A day for fools

Or of fools

Or for fools

Unbound

Unknown

Unpredictable

Nothing happens

No one dares

Everything catches

And burns, bleeds, bursts,

Breads, breaks, busts,

Debeards, dies, devastates,

Drives, dives, and destructs,

People are engaged, divorced,

And having a fifth child

Yet, it is all a net to catch

The nearest way

To make them pay

Or have some play

Or just to be gay today!

It is a joke, a note, a kind of yoke

Sparing no one

Just for fun

A day that joins all fools

 

 

 

Moonbeam Express

Faint silent sliver

A moon upturned as a grin

Floating on a sea of black

Invisible cat wearing a hat

That marks the absurd

Ambition that hovers

In my crowded mind

I look up

The corners of my mouth

Curling into a well-worn smirk

That signals the chaos

To continue to ride

Up and down, all around

Beneath the pin pricks of light

That scatter the bulbous boulders

That block my brain

Breaking them down

Scattershot lazers

Punching through a velvet curtain

Clouds lifted

Moon is energized

Like a bulb has been changed

My thoughts now rearranged

For peace to enter in
