NAPOWRIMO Day 3

Retaining Hope Haikus from Pandemic Times

drowning, dreading and nightmares
news dire and dreadful
scared, anxious and waiting

But

drawing, dreaming and nature
birds, wine and music
food, poetry and painting

But

drowning, dreading and nightmares
news dire and dreadful
scared, anxious and waiting

But

drawing, dreaming and nature
birds, wine and music
food, poetry and painting

But...

retaining hope in pandemic times

By the Creek

Battle by the creek
Red squirrel defends domain
On offense now, a chase ensues

It can’t be that bad
Nuthatches laugh

Woodpeckers go about their day
Knocking all the way

Crow butts in, causing chaotic scattering
Turkey vulture circles
Joined by a kettle looking to kill

Here, life goes on
Robin announces it’s spring

Dark eyed and grey Juncos, peeping in the shadows of the earth

Squirrels galore, gathering and
Chittering.
Laughing

Cardinal love is in the air
Red croons to his love
She, joins him, a fine pair!

Mourning dove laments;
We can never be who we were before

Doggy days indeed

And still
We laugh

Prompt: place (at this time)

Tumultuous Times (2020)

opulent pearly pink, incandescent sky,
a sultry shade of sorbet sashays,
radiating hope in rocky times

oh, the iridescent greening!
permeates pandemic panic

and, like a colouring book,
vivid rainbow petals burst.

then, bugs buzz back,
into my life of deathly hugs.

Here’s a happy birthday cold
It’s how you know you’re getting old
Yay, forty two, here’s a flu
My hair is dusty and body’s rusty
All in all I’m musty and crusty

I’ve registered for the napowrimo site and am super excited, in theory. In truth, I get anxious because I am supposed to write poetry and then I share it on my website which requires tech savvy... so I apologize in advance if I get overwhelmed and under-poemed;)

Ps. What blog service do you use that is super easy-peas??

gearing up for NAPOWRIMO
if only there were a poetry depot
I’m excited but also terrified
from the expectations specified
I’ve psyched myself out
and now I’m in a drought

What do I do?
I fret and I stew
for its when I must
that I go bust
I resist and revolt
I need a lightening bolt

but I must write poetry in April
perhaps I should be grateful
I have words to share
and then
and poetry swoops in to save the day

there was a bit of brilliancy, there,
for
a
moment...
but it’s over now
