A new book to house this year's (and future years) NationalPoetryMonth's daily poems.
I'm writing once again this year. This book is my special event place for thirty special poems.

Here for National Poetry Month in 2018, I'm participating but life has not been kind in the last 15 months, so I'm not always in writing mode.

deep in the whitened forest
where night shadows reveal
only the thinest dark outlines of trees
snowfall slows and clouds clear
her vaporous voice

listen

and moonlight illuminates her white kimono
pearly iridescence of translucent white skin
a wild mane of icicle hair
eyes deeper than midnight
she floats beguiling white from whiteness
with only yearning instead of tears
young boys tell tales of her apparition
in words of forlorn sadness
when she speaks to them
they hear, all in unison

you are not my son

all wished to be the one
to bring her another moment
of happiness
before she melted again
into the winter night
