I Know the Myths and You Know the Math

Welcome to National Poetry Writing Month were poets are invited to write a new poem every day in April. This is my first year and I am more than excited for it! Here's the first of thirty!

I Know the Myths and You Know the Math

Daydreamer of stars and particles
fantastic things and graceful theorems
riddles and words carefully crafted
poems, stories ready to be solved
opened up and expounded upon

shared with all the awestruck listening ears
apt stargazers counting the heavens
creating magic solving the unknown.

I just discovered Cleave Poems over at Jane Dougherty's blog. Cleave is a strange word that means "to tear apart" as well as "to cling to" and that is what this poem does. It is one poem with with two poems written side by side. If you read the regular font and the italic font by themselves they are separate poems, so really this is three poems in one!

Aslan is on the Move

for dVerse

Splish, splatter, splash
cold diamonds melt
pale snowdrop blossoms
Aslan comes

Snow vanishes away
freeing trapped trees
branches shedding icicles
Aslan's arrival

Streams flashing flow
gentle birds warble
new leaves unfolding
Aslan roaring

Spring sun warming
life into statues
stone flees
as Aslan breathes

Mountain Spring

for dVerse

 

Crisp

mountains

swelling up

breaching the clouds

painting the tips white.

While roots and pines below

splash into a turquoise lake.

Bright Indian paintbrush captures

the scene in fiery strokes. Sketching

bluebirds invisible against the sky.
