Time to Write a Poem

by Tinker

Rated: E · Book · Writing · #2152300

A poem a day for the month of April, National Poetry Writing Month

Time To Write a Poem a Day for April, Poetry Month

I Write

I write to stretch myself
to be more of me
I write because I like words
I write because I don't have a horse
to ride anymore.
I write to surprise myself..
I write to leave a piece of myself
for my grandchildren.
I write because I can.
~~Judi Van Gorder

Quite the pleasant stroll. I particularly envy proximity to the lemon tree.

I particularly like the last line.

Frankly, but for media hysteria, I can't tell any difference in my personal life, regardless the party in power. I am lucky.

I love the way you've made the scene so full. My brother and sister-in-law live in California (in the Central valley but she's from Scot's Valley) and this felt like a walk out there (only for me it would have involved their little children so it wouldn't have been nearly as peaceful)

Sigh. This is one reason I don't talk politics with anyone. But I love the crooked mile (which reminds me of the nursery rhyme)

I like this creative notion on numbers.

I also reread Winklett's which I first read years ago.

I love how you show the difference of "most of my adult life" and "yesterday" in the jump between stanzas, and the way you go from generalities to a specific story in the second stanza, with details and self-examination. I love the story as well.

I love this story, too! Beautiful stanza structure for it. Love the list of hard things in stanza one. Total empathy for stanza two!

My dad is always shocked by the things he is no longer able to do. The thing is, he never stopped, but age has taken some of the power that his hands used to have. I love the contrast here. It tells the perfect story for the prompt.
