A blog about music from my unique perspective (also a spot for some poetry I’ve written) |
A simple music themed blog for Jeff’s "The Soundtrack of Your Life" challenge, and also to dump my thoughts about the 48 Hour Media Challenges when I don’t feel like creating a story or poem from the provided material. I may also add random poetry in here if I feel like it doesn’t qualify for a separate item. |
Prismatic ribbons of sunlight Ripple through pale green leaves New growth on old trees Softly, delicately dangling Against crusty bark. A breeze ruffles my curtains As I willingly admit the fresh air. Robins stake their claims On lawns wet with shimmering dew A squirrel lands on my roof With an alarming thump! And the pattering of little feet As he scoots down the slope Like it's a playground slide Renewal surrounds me And I feel the energy of life's endless cycle Coming back around again After a long white nap. I, too, am renewing Reevaluating my paths Striving to attain an upward spiral. Rather than sliding down Into a whiteout of oblivion And staying there I choose to survive And thrive Stepping forward from dormancy Into a green new world. Free verse, 28 lines. Written for the May 2024 round of "RWB Presents: WDC 24th BD Poetry Event " (Second place three way tie winner) |
