Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing
Soaring in a cerulean cloudless morning sky
a festive flock of bright whimsical jewels
with turquoise tail feathers and peach-fuzz masks
such a dazzling sight sublime
to the inquisitive eyes
of my temptress muse
so I must pick up my slender pen
and upon the stark white paper
scratch her beautiful words again

Author’s Note: And here we are, the last day of NaPoWriMo. I want to thank all those that gave me the encouragement and will to keep writing. I have grown as a poet, I’ve learned to listen to my tender muse and give her free reign, and I have gleaned so much knowledge reading from my fellow poets. Together, we are such a strong community from all over the world. WE DID IT!!!

To capture that which takes our breath away and to describe it differently each time… is quite an effort.

I love the contrast between the vivid colours of the opening lines and the stark whiteness of the paper waiting for those beautiful words to be scratched on it.
