April is poetry month. I am going to write and post one poem a day but first, I must explain. I. Do. Not. Write. Poetry! Toxic.
I love to read poetry, and admire those that write it…. So here goes. An exercise in growth I hope, and those friends who ARE poets, critique is welcome.
Poem #1
Because it is Easter On Friday We walked Downtown. The church-bells rang And they echoed Off the buildings Off the pavement Off the clouds. "OH! It is Good Friday!" How has it gotten To this point? This point Where we No longer Pay Attention?
Your poem was resonant with rich sounds and word pictures. It awakened something spiritual within me. Thank you for writing it.
Years ago an author challenged me y to write a poem a day and I had nothing to write so I wrote this: https://thukumainen.wordpress.com/2015/01/27/a-poem-a-day/
I hope it inspires you.

Goodness! I took a look, that was wonderful. I am so impressed that you made it rhyme – and the rhyme worked so well! Very fun.
