HYPERMETROPIA- GloPoWriMo

Dear Readers,

As promised, I am back much before my usual time, and the reason is the Global Poetry Writing Month. I’ve worked out some prompts for myself but unfortunately, today’s poem is based on neither of those. It came to me as I sat thinking about my recent holiday where I met a couple from the UK during one of my walks. Sometimes my backyard carries more verve than I can see.

I may not be able to post every day but it’s wonderful to ‘poem’ during April and I’m thrilled to be doing this after many years. See you around.

Hypermetropia

A day after the rain in early March

spring spills in my clamorous city—

a pop of blue in swirling green.

By the magnolia, I meet two travellers

from distant shores,

sniffing its glorious pinks running down

the valley. Enjoying your beautiful country,

they say.

Long after our goodbyes I sit beside

the bursting tree, tuning in to its beauty, learning

to find blossoms in the cracks of my backyard.

  6. our backyards are filled with beautiful lessons like blossoms that find a way through the cracks to the light. When I see that kind of strength and endurance, he gives me hope. Thanks for continuing to delight us with your poetry. And I love that you turned the word poem into a verb in your introduction.
