National Poetry Month Day 26, 27 and 28

     I got a little behind on posting this weekend.  To make up for that I am going to post three new poems today.

     The assignment for this first poem was to was to write a poem about something that is important to you.  I chose to write about my digital camera.

Digital Camera

I step into my backyard with my camera.

The setting sun is shining on the deep red color as I walk around looking for a subject.

I focus on a flower with a baby bumble bee hovering over it.

I press the silver button with my finger.

The image appears on the tiny screen.

I glance at the captured image, nod my approval and walk away.

Looking for another subject to capture forever.

     The second poem is one that I wrote about swinging.  I was trying to capture the feeling of sitting on a swing and going higher and higher.  This was the result.

Swinging

I pump my legs in and out to get going.

Higher and higher I go.

The cold wind slaps my face as I fly forward.

I close my eyes and imagine that the swing is not there and I am just flying.

Flying through the sky.

My mind is clear and I feel free from all my troubles.

It's like being in a world all my own.

If only for a few minutes.

   Lastly, is a poem that I wrote about the seasons.  I may have posted this one already, but its a nice simple poem, and I like it.  

Seasons

Winter to Spring,

Spring to Summer,

Summer to Fall,

Fall to Winter.

Four seasons,

always changing,

in a never-ending cycle.

Winter to Spring,

Spring to Summer,

Summer to Fall,

Fall to Winter.
