Poems 7 & 8 for NaPoWriMo

Two more poems for National Poetry Writing Month!

April 7th:

supposedly a picture is worth a thousand words,

but I can paint you a picture of a garden in a few words,

imagine veggies growing in straight little rows of moist soil,

crisp little snacks and green leaves against blue sky;

what veggies did you imagine? did you picture weeds?

or flowers? or birds stealing a bite to eat?

did you smell tomato leaves or the feel of dirt under feet?

we don’t need a picture -

the beauty of our gardens

grows from our imagination

The prompt for this poem was to push-back against a proverb, and I chose a picture is worth a thousand words.

April 8th:

lighthouse in the sky,

reflecting beams of starlight,

guiding ships past suns

A haiku inspired by my creative writing club's prompts for the day: lighthouse and moon.
