a ribbon poem for National Poetry Month

it's National Poetry month and so my library has a poetry creation station wherein one can create poetry by writing them down with a Sharpie on ribbon. little tricky to do, but I wrote this short poem for it.

Oh for the night is dark and silent
& the ocean doth speak only in whispers
Tie your name to the black mast
Rest, and let darkness embrace you.

Poem 14 (Homage to Stephen Crane)

 

Sonnet One (Dec. 19-20 & 22)

Writing sonnets is hard and if you can avoid it, you should.

"Lines for a Wild Mouse (Deceased)", a Poem (Nov. 7 & 9)

 

Nov. 7 & 9th. While walking at a nearby park I discovered a dead mouse on the concrete. I picked it up by the tail and laid it on the ground beneath the trees, covered it in leaves, and said a few words for it. A couple days later I wrote this poem.
