April sends her showers
Soft soil gives way to bring
Red Tulips in Spring

Moving Forward
Miss Moody March marches merrily
Away again as April approches and
Rises, returning resplendently radiant
Cancelling cold, creating colorful, cheery
Happy, hopeful habitats. Hallelujah!
Acrostic
At Midnight
March left me last night,
while I was sleeping,
And out of sight,
She went creeping
right out the door
and April slipped in
With a silly Fool’s Grin
To prank me once more
Rhyme
January
Adieu to April
Today brings to an end the April Poem a Day Challenge. This was my second year of participation and I have greatly enjoyed it!
Since I have been writing a Poem a Day for over one year, writing a poem a day was not that big of a challenge to me anymore,
therefore, I chose to challenge myself further this month by not only writing a poem a day, but to also write a different form of poem each day,
plus I also chose to create some form of artwork daily for each poem.
It was a challenge–but one I really enjoyed!!
Many thanks to NaPoWriMo 2014 and WD 2014 PAD Challenge for their daily prompts which often inspired me!

NaPoWriMo 2013, #30–Free Will
Why don’t they listen?
Why can’t they see?
Time and time again I tell them,
Why don’t they believe me?
I tell them the truth,
Things for their own good.
Yet, they ignore what I say
Or treat it as a falsehood.
I love them so much,
It really hurts me to see,
Them reject the wisdom of my way,
And receive a life of misery.
–God

Morning light has come,
Through tender mercy of God.
Dayspring from on high.

NaPoWriMo 2013, #28–Color Choice
Red is favored many a time ,
But how can I choose it over lime?
And orange, I really like a lot,
But purple’s great too, is it not?
Yellow is so bright and cheery,
Pink delights when I’m feeling dreary,
Blue calms me with it’s gentle hue,
Yet a light shade of green does that too!
The glitter of gold I love to see,
But the shine of silver is also special to me.
Black has it’s place, as does brown,
How can I possibly choose a color to crown?
Picking a favorite is to hard for me,
For I like them all, as you can see.
Therefore, the choice I’ll leave undone,
For there’s just too many colors to focus on one.

NaPoWriMo 2013, #27–Proverbs and Old Sayings
Old sayings and proverbs
were what my parents often used
to teach a lesson or make a point.
As a child, I would not be amused,
to hear them speak
with wisdom and wit that was against my will.
Yet now, I the same wisdom I do seek
as a parent relating to my child.
I find myself now repeating
the proverbs and sayings of old,
hoping to convey the message
just as I was told.
