Day 33

House Plant

Sometimes, I don’t even know the name,

this plant growing in a pot on the shelf by the old phone–

should I give it a name, like my pet?

it’s always there and doesn’t neglect

to calm my mind, and I do find

that both comfort me when I feel alone.

What brings comfort to you?

About this post:

Be safe out there. Find ways to help yourself, your family, and others keep going! We can do this together!

April is time for NaPoWriMo — National Poetry Writing Month, try a bit of poetry and art to encourage others to be safe with each other. Something short. Something inclusive. Something of spring and hope. #NaPoWriMo/#GloPoWriMo

The Academy of Poets encourages us to write #shelterinpoems. Get some ideas there and share your own.

Tons of information can be found at Poets.org: National Poetry Month and here: Virtual Programs.
