In the mad days of March, it helps to slow down once in a while and write some short poems.

snow falls
I watch

When I don’t find inspiration outside my window, I enjoy starting my days with Alex Price’s daily #CinquainPrompt.

prompt: paddle

above
water’s surface
the mallard floats serene
no sign of the mad paddling
beneath

prompt: sense

Spring pauses
offstage, out of sight.
You can sense her presence,
even through new-fallen snow.
Soon…soon…
