National Poetry Month is officially underway.

It’s the perfect month to write a poem a day!

If you’re joining the 30 Day Challenge, you might like to try the fifth prompt in your free prompt book (paid subscribers)…

Here’s our little poem written for the prompt…


After a Collage by Catherine Abbey Hodges

If a poem
is a hope galaxy
(as Catherine’s art
suggests to me)

I’m all for
traveling
the stars

each line a jewel
in Orion’s
ancient belt

each thought
a dip
into the
Milky Way

of what has
been lost
somehow turning

into what has
been found
star-dusted

at the edge
of what we
thought we knew

when the lines
set out

Light comes
at the fringe
of the comet’s
tail

where the poem
begins

where it turns
(and turns again)
the constellation

of your
heart.
