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.

he forms characters
with drops of rain
agile brush catching definition
from the clouds

for kindship
family & intent
he pricks a finger & mixes his own
redness to electrify brush magic

for sadness, solitude
& growth
he must tame wind so brush
loses anything brusk

catching sky blue requires
more than a hue called patience
for love & life & renewal
seek invitation
& wait upon timeliness

death
for it must be brushed beneath no stars
can only come from midnight’s ink
he is blind to its forms

before the characters dry
he sprinkles stardust
to add eternity
just enough to remember
only words
he, the messenger
is a comet's tail
