April - Poetry Month

Necessity

If I’m hiding

search for me

in a spider’s dream

or web of twilight.

You might find me

in shadows gone

ladybug on a lemony

sway of eucalpytus.

Consider me in

the moon’s crackle

above the pines.

I’m there just before

stars prickle 

with the promise

of what we

need the most.

Concentrate on adding flavor to writing

for April Poetry Month.

Fill your sentences with imagery. 

Take a raw experience to shape
words into a rhythm

with all the senses.

Explore a mystery. 

Bring in wild joy and ache of sorrow. 

Dabble in confusion and magic.

Let the reader realize a connection to

what we need the most.
