This Day Wants You – 3rd April 2025

All the parachutes of fire,

Paper tears, small joys shredded,

Rains down so sweet.

I laughed and said,

‘Love the only possible end’;

Terrified of not loving again;

How long do we have each other?

I mean, why is no one talking about this?

Regrets are shivering in the wind,

Down to this day, today, wanting you.

An acrostic poem for Momoetry April Poet Month challenge – acrostic and also a kind of erasure poem mixed with a cento as almost everything is paraphrased from sections of other poems that were posted here at Tiny Hearts

Attitude Is… – 2nd April 2025

Ready for the rain
Ready for the sun
Attitude is everything

With only three ideas
All of them – you
I am all I have

My soul unfinished
Half-bad ain’t half bad
There’s no one left to say

Looking further out
Looking further in
Attitude is everything

The Lowest Form – 1st April 2025

The limerick that schools
Upon this day of fools
Written with ease
I do as I please
Regardless of the rules

A poetry most base
Rhyming with lack of grace
These words I write
May just ignite
To blow up in my face

Shared with Momoetry April Poet Month challenge – limerick
I think I associate limericks with childhood and uncouth rhyme. I also find it one of the easiest forms to write, perhaps because the rhythm is so familiar. Anyway, that’s why I consider limericks the ‘lowest form’ of poetry!
