Saturday’s NaPoWriMo challenge was to select a common proverb and plug it in to a search engine. Then review the first few pages of results, jot down any words of interest that are found there, and use those words as inspiration and source material for a poem.
I chose the old adage, “Love is blind,” because it applies so well to my youthful choices.
I guess I have no excuse for any such choices that I may or may not have made later in life. Hmmm….
Once again, I was also inspired by one of Hilary Blackwood’s charming pieces.
I see, I hear
but long for touch
I mourn my losses
but not too much
I long for summer
but melt in sun
I fear the winter
but not this one
I feel love flowing
but not through me
how dangerous
to love, to see
