Poetry Project, V. 10.0, Day 30

yay!!!!  I've made it - 30 poems in 30 days, another year in the books!  Well, after I get this last one, anyway.  If I looked back on this year and tried to pick up a theme for it, I would have to say it's "restarting."  It's difficult to do, and this year, I've had to restart a bunch of times.  But it's good to remember that no matter what we face in life, restarting is always a possibility - it just takes an awful lot of work and perseverance.  Restarting isn't easy.  I can promise you, though, that if you are in a place where a restart is necessary, the process is worth it.  And that brings us to the last poem for this April:

the beginning

it's always full of questions,
options,
opinions,
hopes and dreams,
excitement,
nervousness,
and the fear.
that's what no one talks about,
the fear of starting out -
what if it fails,
what if i look foolish,
what if what if what if -

what if you let go of that,
and begin?


there's a special guest post - this writer is someone I have looked up to for many years, now, and I find that the more I get to experience her writing, the more I understand her, and enjoy the process.  She is an inspiration on many levels, and I am proud to share the work that she has so graciously shared with me. 

DECK WATCH

Trees shedding,

feeders hanging,

wrens singing,

cardinals chipping,

winter baring,

hollys staring,

acorns sprouting, 

forget-mes-notting,

birches peeling,

season springing 

to life anew!

Thanks to all who have read along.  I hope maybe it's been as good for you as it was for me, and even if you don't like poetry, maybe you will consider giving it another shot.  Thanks for all your support, and as always,

Thanks for reading,

Me
