Welcome Readers!

During this year’s poetry month, we plan to write a poem a day for 30 days!  Read on and write on!

Happy Poetry Month 2014!  Here’s my first poem:

Stand Next to Me!

I see the orange sun
shinning, holding us up
I wonder--
Tomorrow, will I say the right things?
Will I be there 
in the way you need me?
Will we have each other for years 
like we planned:
In a large mansion joined together 
by a balcony bridge?

I see blues swirling across the sky
Reds, oranges, yellows dancing, 
lingering
Relax girl!
It's going to be okay.
We will still have each other
the sky comforts me

Twin palm trees stand tall 
next to each other
growing old, reliving their youth
Will we have that?
Will I have you still?

Relax girl!
It's going to be okay.
The trees hold me in place.
We will still have each other.
We will grow old,
next to each other--
the sun between us
like the twin palm trees,
warming us forevermore.
