It’s the last chance,
for my last dance,
with words.
NaPoWriMo
swings us around
inside outside
upside down
opening channels
where blood words flow
plucking our soul strings
pulling us low
down to the under of every day’s up
laughing and crying
displaying our trump
April’s wet bloomings
with dark hungry loomings
bring color and pain to the fore of our front.

A shout out to We Write Poems for hosting a site to post this month!

This was prophetic of Not Your 45 ! It was visionary.
How could you have known in 2012? ☻
