Shifting Course

Posted on July 29, 2019 by purplepeninportland

Written for:  The Sunday Whirl, Wordle #414

Words:  clouds, shy, light, but, fertile, pass, burn, shift, branch, blocks, course, rooted

This poem is a shift
in course. Shy, light
clouds pass by, blocking
a burning sun. This poem
wonder-worries about drought
and wildfires. Branches
extend their arms hoping
for a steady rain. Tree
roots are deep, twisted
tunnels in fertile land,
but, it all can shift course
in an instant.

We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.
