Inspiration

Posted on September 12, 2019 by Leonas Lines

Original photo of a soap bubble

I am the morning dew glistening

I am the sun shining

I am a bird singing

I am a flower blooming

I am a squirrel scurrying

I am the wind swirling

I am a leaf falling

I am a tear on a cheek

I am an aging voice

I am a child’s laughter

I am a stranger’s smile

I am a mother’s hug

I am a spoken word

I stand at your door knocking

I stand waiting for you to find me

I stand in the silence of night

I stand amid the noisy throng

I stand among your daily moments

Very good, Leona. It reminds me a little of a poem I wrote with each line starting with “I Am” but quite different from yours of course.

  Thanks Diane. We are studying repetitive poetry this week in class and we’re assigned to write an imitation of a repetitive poem. I ended up writing two, this one and another which I just posted.
