Poem #30--Looking Inside (and Poetry Friday)


Inside the month
I found the challenge.

Inside the challenge
I found the discipline.

Inside the discipline
I found the joy.

Inside the joy
I found the poems.

Inside the poems
I found my world.

    What a great poem to end the month. I love the photo. So: what will you do now that you have formed a practice of writing a pome a day?
