April is National Poetry Writing Month. Every day from April 1st to April 30th poets write a new piece. There are sites that provide prompts, but I think I prefer to start freely.
I know me. I write daily anyway and don’t think this will be much of a challenge. And yet… somehow, these last couple of times, I was never able to see a challenge through. Life got in the way or I got in my own way or whatever excuse I refuse to use. Anyway I will try to do better. And this year, I will take part in #NaPoWriMo. Seriously. All my poems will be crossposted on Threads.

Day 1
You say that I am your light
That I keep you grounded in the dark
But you are made of shadows
Hidden behind clouds
That nobody sees.
Your name is a secret on my tongue
Rivers on my cheeks at dawn
I am a ghost. Nothing.
An after midnight thought
Buried in forgotten dreams.
reflections of an unquiet mind
