Well, April is here, which means National Poetry Month is upon us! I will be taking up the challenge of writing & posting a poem a day for the entire month. Last year, fellow blogger Erobintica, as well as others, did a great job posting every day, and I told myself that come next year, if I haven’t yet abandoned my blog and retired my writing pen, I’m gonna give it a shot. So…let the poetry begin!
Poem#1
When Cumberland Falls
angels wept
at your feet
sweet majesty and divinity
god’s breath pushed
from your belly
her joyous tears
your overflowing stream
i will dream of your childhood
how free it must have been
of debris
of pollution
of technology
of man
