Creative writing | April 2020

Being stuck at home really has got me writing again, and I'm so pleased about that. Here's a little poem I wrote earlier this week...

Perseverance: Pandemic Poetry #2


while we still have pink morning skies
and dew drops drizzled on garden grass
like sweet molten amber as the city rolls
over and wakes up, and while the
orange-belted bumblebee still hovers
among the purple aubrieta in the park
on a sun-warmed afternoon in April,
and while the breeze blows velvety
blossom petals onto your sleeve as
you turn the corner into the cool
embrace of evening, and while the
stars dance in and out of rolling
clouds that hang full of tomorrow’s
possibilities, 

we can keep going.


The title is a work in progress, but I find titling my poetry *really* difficult sometimes. Do any other poets have this issue?! Let me know. Hope you enjoyed this little poem regardless, and that you're staying home & staying safe.
