NaPoWriMo, Day 16

As I mentioned at the beginning of the month, I’ll be leading a writing workshop in May – Saturday, May 14, to be exact. I’ve led past workshops at the library, but this time I’ll be at the Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning, another wonderful resource for the community. If you’re local or just curious, here’s a link for more information:

Today’s poem was prompted by the Nine of Pentacles from the Crystal Visions Tarot. (Click here to see the card.)

Time and this garden

It is always twilight, maybe dawn. Spring flowers carpet
the ground, and apples hang on the branch, so ripe

they perfume the air. Nests burst with hatchlings, and adult
birds gather for migration. Nothing is settled but nothing

truly changes. Everything is in the process of becoming
something else.
