Poetry Project v 2.0...the end...

oh boy, I make it all the way to the end of the month and then almost don't finish! ok, well, these area couple days later, and I need a two-fer in here, I think. But first, a little reflection on this past month.

Thank you to all who read along. I didn't receive too many comments on things - less than I did last year - so I really have no idea how many of you there are - but thank you. I hope you enjoyed taking this little trip. I know that I found it a nice outlet, and, while different than last year, still rewarding.

Thanks for those who took the challenge - which is pretty much just my mom...so Mom, a big hug and shouts of thanks to you!

On a final note, send me your ideas for themes for next year! Maybe eventually this will become something larger than one month every year. I have no idea, but send me your thoughts anyway!

OK, so let's finish this thing!


Rain

One. One-two.
One-two. One. One-two-three.
One. One-three-one.
Two. Two-one-one. One.
One. On-two-three-one-four.
Two-four. Four-seven-one-five.

Etc.

Flood.

One. Two-one.
One.


And just because it's kinda the opposite.....

Sun

Sneaking,creeping,
up over the horizon it comes,
turning cold night into warm summer morning.
the world aglow, basking, radiant,
new and fresh in the kiss of light.
A warm embrace, constant, sure,
as with a lover.
warming as the day grows longer,
waning as evening approaches.
Beginning again tomorrow,
a new and fascinating discovery.


Thanks for reading.
