SOL 2016 Day 13 - For Poetry: A Day in Poetry Workshop

For Poetry

Driving flooded streets,
windshield wipers whooshing,
Waiting on train platforms,  
boots shushing in pouring rain,
umbrella fighting winds.
All to meet with poets,
drenched in line breaks,
sonnets, imagery,
talk of metaphor.
Refreshed, reverse
Remember.

  2. I love your words, "boots shushing" and "All to meet with poets, drenched in line breaks." Delightful! Now I want to know who the poets were that you met.

    1. Thanks, Ramona. I think those words came because I'd spent a few hours reading and talking about poems. The poets were just regular people who love words - like me and you.
