Which way are you going?
What route will you follow?
Where will it take you?

Mondays are just young Fridays
The clock and the calendar move
forward incrementally, naturally
(as it should be) from a darker
winter we can’t leave behind to
something resembling spring.
In-between our seasons we take
whatever we can, where we are.
We have little choice.
A less-than-enthusiastic forecast
glares at me from a mobile device,
with greater chance of soakers
more than once or twice in the
week ahead as atmospheric rivers
come down to earth (a convenient
excuse for all it’s worth).
April showers still to come, as it
happens, as it is always done, we
keep moving forward step-by-step
mainly in spite of the weather.

of interest
your knowledge is
your currency
save up for what
you need or desire
there is interest
in your wisdom

I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

April Is Poetry Month

Whisper of Truth
We strive or struggle
in this tempestuous atmosphere,
mindful of words measured
or immediate,
and whispered as intended.
Velocity and circumstance differ.
Interpretation, introspection,
the memories remain
as we see
this poetry we breathe.
Rhythm and patterns suggest
scattered thoughts,
unparalleled emotions, and
a decency to remind
the heart to remember.

April, every April,
but especially this April
is Poetry Month
Read, write, recite,
poetry.
Celebrate poetry & poets.
There is poetry
everywhere. It belongs
anywhere.
Find some you like,
don’t be afraid to share.
Poetry. Write your own
should you care.
Each day, every day,
every April
(but especially this April)
there will be new poetry.
Every day. Right here
Find your way.
