Stumped again. I thought that I'd write a short poem for today.
Sunset
The sun sets tonight
Closing its eyes as I await
Its return tomorrow

National Poetry Writing Month, Day Four - Still Waters
Thought that I'd write a Haiku today.
Still Waters
Such serenity
Still waters rolling along
As I just stand by

National Poetry Writing Month Day 3 - Can't Dance Blues
I found another prompt for day 3 of National Poetry Writing month for Wild Violet Literary Magazine, and the prompt was to write a blues poem. I decided to go with this prompt because it seemed like it would be a lot of fun. So early into this challenge, I had forgotten that this month was supposed to be fun, and I was supposed to enjoy writing. This was definitely a fun challenge. I hope that I captured it in this poem. :-)
Can't Dance Blues
I'm known as Two Left Feet Lita
Cause I cannot dance worth a darn
I'm known as Two Left Feet Lita
Cause I cannot dance worth a darn
Cause when I get on that dance floor
I tend to cause a lot of harm
I move the wrong way in a line dance
When to the side I glide
I move the wrong way in a line dance
When to the side I glide
Others shake their heads and say
How could she mess up the Cha-Cha Slide?
When I get out there on the dance floor
It's sure not a pretty sight
When I get out there on the dance floor
It's sure not a pretty sight
I cannot even do the "Two-Step" right
I'm gonna get my heels and my jacket
Far away from this dance floor I will go
I'm gonna get my heels and my jacket
Far away from this dance floor I will go
I'll just do my own dance at home
The pics on my walls cannot judge me you know

National Poetry Writing Month Day 2 - April
I'm stumped today. I had an idea for today's prompt, was unable to finish, or compose the poem in a way that would leave me feeling confident in it. So I decide to write a Haiku about the month of April, and how it usually looks in my area.
April
After spring comes in
She arrives with warmth followed
Offering all flowers
