Happy National Poetry Month!
I am celebrating Poetry Month by pairing quotes about poetry (Poetry is…) with images.
I share one each day without commentary. Below are those from April 18 to April 24.
But first, I will share a poem I wrote a few months ago.
My poem, “In the Rain,” pairs with Jane Whittingham’s quote that I posted on April 18.
In the Rain
High we hold our umbrellas
as we reach for each other,
wandering through the city
in the springtime of our love.
Raindrops play our sweet love song,
echoing unspoken words,
summoning us to dance ’til dawn
to the rhythm of our hearts.
Raindrops fall like saltless tears,
wash away sad memories,
free us from our yesteryears,
leave no ling’ring scent of pain.
Raindrops drift, white and gentle,
cold and soft beneath our feet.
eve’s gloaming swirls around us,
blurring what the future keeps.
Low we hold our umbrella,
clinging arm in arm we walk,
rambling through our city
in the winter of our love.
