...NaPoWriMo's (optional) prompt. Today’s prompt was suggested by Bruce Niedt. Here’s Bruce’s explanation: take any random song play list (from your iPod, CD player, favorite radio station, Pandora or Spotify , etc.) and use the next five song titles on that randomized list in a poem.
Song Play
by Dot Hearn
A rainless day makes the sunset bright
orange and gold, sprinkled with hot scarlet clouds
and new memories we haven't yet made.
I reach for the pen to make a note
to remember to tell you that
I love you so that when we meet and I know
we will soon, you will know that I meant it,
that we were meant to be together
at sunset
on a day
we are Lovers of the Light.
In the Magic of twilight when the stars
are beginning to become visible
to naked eyes. When constellations
ride the sky and the fields are dappled
with a Chestnut Mare and
Blackhorse and the Cherry Tree.
In the corner of the pasture,
standing near a downed board in the rail fence,
I stand humming "Wait for Me"
and wonder who you are.
