Introduction Poem

PAD Challenge Day one;

Write an introduction poem

I am an ardent admirer of nature...

I am the shorelines that cradle the ocean

I am the ocean that dashes the shore

I am a drifter on hazy horizons

I am a hunter of ‘much wanting more’

I am a creature of rhyming-habit

I am a grandmother, mother and child

I am a beggar of crumbs, ink anointed

I am the wind as it wanders the wild

I am a painter of wonder and wishes

I am a trawler of seas, starry-sighed

I am a weaver of whispers so precious

I plant the page with a gardener’s pride

I am a loner and I am a lover

Caught in a tango-of-thought-stealing ‘oh’

I am the rambler that tramples the clover

A dancer torn between hold and let go

I am an ardent admirer of nature

I am a surfer of word ebb and surge

I am a woman of heart and soul stature

I am a poet when thought and ink merge
