NaPoWriMo 2020 Day 1- The People
Published on:
#posts #poetryWe the spin, the shimmer.
We the sway, the light,
the contagion and the cure
We the anointing and
sometimes the penance.
We the living cosmos.
We who stockpile flocks
of wings in our hearts
and galaxies in our eyes.
We the sun on the river
in the morning. We, barely
glimpsed, we the golden
and the gentle, we the
shine and the reflection.
We the rare, the cruel
and the wonderful. We
the infinite and the brief.
We who have been searching
for millennia, in the skies
and in the hedgerows. We
who are still searching. We
who strive for transcendence
and find it, now and then.
Prompt was "Write a poem that includes the words 'flock' 'simmer' and 'sway" I misread simmer for shimmer. I drafted one poem and didn't like it, so I ran it through a cut up machine, which twisted my words. Then I wrote out from that.
