In past Aprils on this blog, I have posted a draft poem a day in honor of National Poetry Month. Some of the poems are pretty rough, but the commitment is a fun tool to get one writing poetry and I urge you to join in on the exercise. Here’s today’s:
Meeting of the Minds
I never knew, she says, that a body stayed warm
so long. You know.
Me neither, I say. I didn’t know
either.
Now we are silent, confirmed in
what we both know, but without a clue
as to what comes
next.
As always, I welcome and very much appreciate your comments and suggestions, particularly since many of the poems I will be posting this month will be still-in-progress! That said, if you want to read work of mine that is finished, please please please check out: my very silly but fun novel, NOSE DIVE, my book of poetry, GOING ON SOMEWHERE, or my children’s counting book 1 MISSISSIPPI. )
