*This was inspired by my Dear Friend Chuck over at The Reluctant Poet. His “seeds of inspiration” was all I needed to write this. Thank you, Chuck, for your kindness and encouragement. Big ‘Ole Hugs! ❤

Materializing
from the darkness
of a hollowing
sadness
Insistent
and desperate
This lifeless
labyrinth
born of an
aching emptiness
The broken pieces
you left
behind
To seek
the light

inspiration. For a prompt, I pulled out a book, opened it and
just started writing down words or phrases that caught my eye.
This poem is what came from that. hmmmm...

those places
in my heart
the empty
spaces
I look beyond
the clutter
of today
sifting
yesterday's dreams
those never quite
formed
looking to make
solid
what was
but mist

I don’t think that sweet Sally Fields ever lived down those words.
Thank You, to everyone that took time to visit my blog and like something that you saw here. I appreciate it so much!
Years ago when I first started this blog, I had no idea how big of a part in my life this blog would play. It’s become not only a place to express myself, but also a place I can come to and always be welcomed. It’s a place where I can check in with friends that I’ve made here. It’s also a place where I can discover new talent and make new friends.
My time here has been rewarding in ways that I never imagined. Thank you for being here for me and for joining me on this journey! Penny

Old endings
tucked
behind closed
doors
Just in case?
New beginnings
within reach
Choices move you
forward
or
Undermine your
better judgement
Look forward
dear heart

My participation in the #NaPoWrMo (National Poetry Writer’s Month) has been out of step with everyone else. I did the Sneak Peek prompt, thinking that participation would begin the following day, the 1st day of April. But it did not, it started That Day, April 30th. This put my whole way of posting off.
I usually do my writing and then plan on posting it the next day. I write when I can. If I have 20 minutes of downtime at work, that’s when I’ll write. If it’s at 9pm, after my day is done, That’s when I write. I rarely write and post what I write on the same day. Today will be an exception.
I will more than likely participate very little or not at all in NaPoWriMo on the weekends.
If you are interested in participating in NaPoWriMo, go HERE to check out the information. Have fun!
