Dear Readers,
Happy Thanksgiving Week!
This Week's Progress:
I wrote a new Ekphrastic poem which I will share with you all today! This week I want to challenge myself and write a poem about Thanksgiving, but not make it too cheesy. When I read thanksgiving poems, either they are too negative, or over the top cheesy. I am going to try and write a poem that will balance the two. I welcome you all to join this week's thanksgiving challenge!
Ekphrastic Poem I Wrote this Week:
Dancing in a Field
A swift breeze
Flowing through my hair,
and soft wheat
tickling my bare feet.
Grounded —
Standing bare foot on wet grass
I hear a bee buzzing next to me.
The universe seems to lift
Off of my shoulders
And float up into the endless sky.
Crystal Clear,
The clouds shimmer
Like a diamond ring,
And the wind sings
A prayer to the old willow tree,
And it's restless leaves.
Like a fresh coat of paint,
The color is delicate,
One smudge
And the memory will shatter to the ground.
Feel free to comment your guys' poems!
