Saturday's Poem

The dark clouds sinisterly approach

Threatening our outdoor picnic

A roar of thunder in the distance

A wind storm erupts

Tree branches bend and swerve

We run for cover

As quick as this tumultuous fury emerged

It alters its course

I love living in the mountains.

 

Where ever your Saturday leads you, enjoy.

 

National Poetry Month

April is National Poetry Month. Do you now, or have you written poems? As a young child, I believe writing poems was my catalyst for my future of writing short stories, fiction and non-fiction. 
Below is my first poem I wrote for this month.  Everyday I will write a new poem, be sure to visit this site to read a daily poem.

This poem below is how my brain is functioning with the disease Multiple Sclerosis I have been living with for over twenty-eight years.


Scrambled thoughts and ideas
racing through my mind
eyes closed to concentrate
yet only random brain waves
jump to and fro
making no sense at all.
Make this madness go away
I want my memory back, please return.

I hope you visit each day for a new poem.
Where ever this day leads you, follow it and enjoy! Until next time. . .

Beautiful November~ Busy Month For Many

Enjoy this Poem for the Month

 

 

"How silently they tumble down
And come to rest upon the ground
To lay a carpet, rich and rare,
Beneath the trees without a care,
Content to sleep, their work well done,
Colors gleaming in the sun.

At other times, they wildly fly
Until they nearly reach the sky.
Twisting, turning through the air
Till all the trees stand stark and bare.
Exhausted, drop to earth below
To wait, like children, for the snow." - Elsie N. Brady, Leaves

November is also National Novel Writing Month also known as nanowrimo.
I've participated for three years and completed a rough novel in two of the three years. I'm sorry to say, this year I personally have way too many irons in the fire to be able to devote the time needed to write for nanowrio this year! But best of luck to everyone who is. I find it fun, challenging, a learning experience, and will hopefully be participating next November.
For you who do not know what this is, beginning November 1st and ending at midnight, November 30th, you write a 50,000 word novel.
If this sound of interest to you, check out the official site at: www.nanowrimo.org


My positive thoughts and prayers are for the multitude of families, devistated by Mother Nature at her Worst on the  East Coast.

Where ever this first weekend of November leads you, my hope is that you may create wonderful memories!
