My monthly challenge for February was to write a poem everyday.
Most of them were terrible. But a few were quite successful, at least in conveying what I felt at the time. I'm certainly not a poet, but I enjoy writing them nonetheless. It is a very good thing that I chose free verse; I can't stick to a rhythm/rhyming pattern for the life of me! Here are my favourites. Incidentally, they are also the shortest ones.
Feb. 3, "Divergence"
I cannot help but to change
When I see all new sites
And hear all new sounds
Or climb to new heights
Or step below ground
Feb. 8, no title
Venice is sinking, she sighed,
As lovers flee to Paris.
Soon, all of this will be nothing.
And she hoped to be far away.
Feb. 15, no title
To be intelligent
Is to live and die
As Prometheus
To be intelligent
Is to exist as a wolf
Among the sheep
Feb. 18, Piano Keys
That look
It was mine
For so many days,
Hours, years.
But I am blind,
So how could I know?
