For the month of April, I am participating in 30 days of #verselove poetry writing with Dr. Sarah J. Donovan's Ethical ELA.
Today's poetry inspiration was by Susan Ahlbrand, who encourages us to find a photo and write into it. Oh my, what a challenge! I went around and around and around, sort of chicken/egg thinking - do you think of a topic and find a photo to go with? do you find a favorite photo and make yourself write something? Of course, like everyone, I am drowning in photos. Do I want to go down memory lane, pick something old? Or something current?
In the end, I went with something recent. The poem is about something that has been such a 'go-to' adventure throughout this pandemic - walking in the woods. The poem is light and simple. Here it is, with a photo of my husband and granddaughter, in the woods:
walk in the woods
talk in the woods
wouldn’t you want
want the woods
walk in the woods
with you
spring woods
summer woods
seasons in woods
all withstood
walk in the woods
with you
wild of woods
piles of woods
understood woods
good in the woods
walk in the woods
with you
pine for the woods
sap for the woods
box me in the woods
yes, I would, I would
walk in the woods
with you
drift in the woods
back of woods
round the woods
love the woods
walk in the woods
with you
