As I drafted this post, it struck me that most of the poems I’ve written and shared recently seem to be a bit dark. Honestly, I don’t think they reflect my state of mind! With that disclaimer, I’m sharing my #Poemtober responses for “dizzy” and for “pattern.” As always, I’m grateful for the prompts and challenges that encourage me to write regularly.
buffeted by daily news
dizzy with dismay
hope hides in shadows

One dull thud
Three wispy red feathers
pattern the smudged windowpane
one brilliant cardinal
dims and cools on the ground
the silence reverberates
