National Poetry Month Day 13 and 14

     Sorry I didn't post a poem yesterday.  It kind of got away from me.  Today I am going to post two of my more recent poems to make up for it.

     The first poem is one that I wrote about rain.  It seems like such an ordinary topic, but there really is a lot to say about it.

Rain

Clouds cover the deep blue sky,

and tiny droplets of water

begin to leak out,

slowly gaining speed as they approach land.

They tap on windows and doors,

plunge deep into the ocean,

and fall on any dry surface,

collecting and forming puddles

wherever they can,

until every cloud in the sky

is empty.

     The second poem is one that I wrote about being creative.  

Creativity

The creative mind is always buzzing,

coming up with new ideas.

A creative person is always thinking,

writing, doodling, making lists.

To anyone else it may seem like chaos,

but to the creative person,

these thoughts are real beauty.

In the eyes of the creative person,

a new idea,

is a new experience.
