#MayFalls19 Poetry Challenge Prompt: Emerald Starlight
Oceanside
Sea breeze.
Gulls cry above.
Waves softly rolling,
Covering footprints in the sand.
Ocean
Sights and sounds delight weary soul,
Seeking tranquility,
Refreshing life,
Anew.

May Day
The time has come
May’s skirts rustle as she tiptoes
Through the dancing tulips
Sowing seeds of florescence
Carpeting the world with flowers

Morning Visitor
Faint fluttering flicker
Among springtime’s treasures
Seeking sustenance
Among garden beauties
Aroused from winter’s sleep

Wisteria
Let it not be said
Winter’s breath impaired us
Pickets wear purple

#NaPoWriMo 2019–Day 27–Prompt: You can pick a line you like from one of Shakespeare’s sonnets and use it as the genesis for a new poem.
(I chose Sonnet 06 “Then let not winter’s ragged hand deface” as my inspiration)
Spring Senses
Waking to the sound
Of a dove’s soft cooing,
My sleepy eyes delight
At sunshine, and the morning
Sounds of baby birds.
Taste awakening anew,
I touch life boldly
Smelling it’s fragrant winds that
Promise new life again.

#NaPoWriMo 2019–Day 25–Prompt: write a poem about a specific season using all five senses
“The Starry Night”
Down below
We dont really know
What swirls above
And dwells thereof
In that starry night
That lies beyond our sight
Among the clouds of white
Floating in a sea of blue
Are things hidden from our view
We can dream and contemplate
Research, study and debate
Yet we’ll not truly know my friend
Until our life reaches its earthly end

In the Aftermath Of Winter
Searching for sunshine
A tiny bud pushes forth
Roses rise again
Haiku
#NaPoWriMo 2019–Day 21–Off Prompt
I am glad to see my roses springing up and back to life after the hard winter we had. I lost a few plants to the cold weather but my roses all survived and are looking healthy and growing.
Dandelion
Carried by the wind
A seed blown with wishful breath
Gold crown manifests
Haiku
