Today's poem-a-day prompt from Robert Lee Brewer @ Writer's Digest
For today's prompt, write a minimum poem.
“Enough is as good as a feast.”
Black coffee, wake-up call's delight
Feet touch down; glorious
So many mercies to ignite
Poetic impetus
From winter's drab, depleted vaults
To buds bursting with pink
From zephyrs turning somersaults
Ten thousand ballads wink
Heaven and earth's fullness implores
Poetic ecstasy
Each breath drawn from a sea that roars
With unpenned poetry
Human nature, predictable
Would drive us dearly mad
Without Poetic Canticle
To keep us kindly glad
Creation pulses, poem-kissed,
Thus, I can never be
An organized minimalist
Regarding poetry
As soon as I awake, it seems
To be my lovely lot
To troll a tugging tide, that teems
With poems yet to jot
A crimson rose, a freckled nose
The tireless march of time
Dusk's diamond-studded curtain-close
Beckon for lilt and rhyme
A hand to hold while growing old
A lake, mantled in mist
A pansy, purple, white and gold
Poem cannot resist
'Enough is as good as a feast'
Is good enough for me
Unless this includes an increased
Poem-frugality
Janet Martin
My poetry book collection used to be contained in one cupboard,
but no longer...because a good poem book I simply cannot resist😅😏
