APRIL MOSAIC
The sky above
a yellow glove
Two observe
mushrooms curve
Long spikey
slow slippery
25 spot
3 cake pops
Bee in the window is dead
Cat in the window turns head
Tree in bloom
Vast amounts of room
River has meanders
Table has treasures
Cake plate view
(coins from 1892)
Sugar bowl twinkles
Cut glass crinkles
Flow Blue plate
Butter dish weight
Carnival glass shimmers
Tools made many dinners
Shot glass -- small
Pitcher -- tall
Pike's Peaking
Hawk's eating
Stack of three
Plate of cheese
Powell winery
Spring's green finery
Birdhouse gourds hang
April's gone...dang!

Poem #30, National Poetry Month, 2012
All 30 poems for this month make a mosaic of their own, a different sort of glimpse into my world -- the poetic version of what I was seeing and doing and thinking about. Here is a link to my 2012 NPM Poems. (My April photo mosaic is on Flickr here.)
In March, the Poetry Tournament at Think Kid, Think! was a watershed moment for me as a writer. I changed my identity from "person who sometimes writes poetry" to Poet. I'm excited to see where this new direction in my writing will lead. I have a brand new PINK writer's notebook to start filling...beginning tomorrow!
Cathy, at Merely Day By Day, is joining me in a poem a day this month. Other daily poem writers include Amy at The Poem Farm, Linda at TeacherDance, Donna at Mainely Write, Laura at Writing the World for Kids (daily haiku), Liz at Liz in Ink (daily haiku), Sara at Read Write Believe (daily haiku), Jone at Deo Writer (daily haiku)...and YOU?

You are the one who forced me to discover how to make those mosaics, Mary Lee, & I've always loved yours, & now in poetic form too! Beautiful poems, photos & month!
ReplyDeleteOh Mary Lee what a beautiful visual presentation of your poetry! I am so impressed with how you link everything-thanks for sharing your poems with us for the month of April.
ReplyDeleteThis is so clever, such a perfect way to end the month. I'm finding myself hoping that each month's mosaic will include a poem! Congratulations on today being May 1! a.
