I have embarked on a new writing project. I asked friends on facebook to submit single words. I am writing a poem every day based on those words. It is a way for me to pass the time and stay busy during this social isolation of the pandemic.
I offer now the first of these poems, based on the word stillness.
(it comes before)
Brain
Electrically firing thoughts
Heart
Anxiously quivering blood
Soul
Painfully breathing oxygen
(it lingers after)
Leaves
Rustling against wind
Pup
Sighing in sleep
Tail
Twitching behind squirrel
(offering its peace)
Check back tomorrow for a new poem. Thanks!
