Poetry Month 2023, Post #4: “Poetry”

April is #NationalPoetryMonth and I am posting a Poem-A-Day. This is a poem about poetry that I wrote last Fall after my sabbatical. I was missing the time and space to write poetry every day that I had over the summer.

Poetry

My poetry is
friendship
a companion
of spirit
and consequences
truth acquifers
that gush with
sentience, lifeforce
the viscera of being
truly alive.
My poetry is
mystery
she hides, she
waits, she
abides in deep
forest wells
a divining rod
moves over
the ground
and there she
says sit with
me again
And let your
earth home speak
Let her sing
let the words
she births
settle and
breathe onto
the page.
