Writer's Digest PAD Challenge day 29: (already!) For today’s prompt, write a haphazard poem.
Her hair askew,
Missing a shoe,
Her dress in disrepair
And all around
On the green ground
Are hints that she was there.
Her plans half-made
She is way-laid
By fairer next-of-kin
Who strolls amazed
On trails she blazed
On Mother Nature's skin
She will not see
The laden tree,
The garden flushed with bloom,
A pioneer
Her grin and tear
Threads Mother Nature's loom
...nor will she stroll
Where leaves cajole
A canopy of leaves
Or linger where
...nor will she stroll
Where leaves cajole
A canopy of leaves
Or linger where
The dust-sweet air
Drips from dawn's tawny eaves
Ah, fare thee well,
Mademoiselle,
We love thy April ways
They set the stage
And turn time's page
To May-June-July days
Janet Martin
I love this, Janet.
