another wound in spring, colder
rain saws at my hope
as willows lean and bow,
their buds barely formed.
Just another week or two,
we tell each other.
Spring is coming.
Spring in Manito Park
Today's poetry prompt comes from David Brewer, of Writer's Digest fame, who kindly challenges us to write a poem of only 6 words OR using all 6 words. The 6 words are: bow, lean, park, saw, tear, wound. Hmm. Thank you, Mr. Brewer! Learn more about his poetry prompts HERE.
Now I am behind just one day or maybe two in April's challenge to write a poem each day. Too many doctor visits this week. You'd think with 3 hours in a waiting room, I could come up with a poem, but those chairs were very hard, and it was hard to wait for 'good' news. Yes, we did get good news and a sense of renewed appreciation for this day and every day to come. Maybe later today, I'll write another poem! Maybe this weekend, we'll have sunshine instead of rain.
I love your poem, and admire your dedication to writing. Spring WILL come, and probably silently while we are not looking. Spring sometimes likes to bluster. We will take it however we can get it!
