So, apparently it's National Poetry Month and I thought a fun challenge to myself would be to see if I have enough poems (that I feel comfortable sharing with the world) to blog one per day every day for the whole month from my published and never-before-seen archives because why not? (My reason for doing most things.)
I thought I might dig up the first poem I ever had published to start. Thus, without further ado, I give you poem #1, "Watery Words," published in Shards, Tenth Anniversary Edition 1992, Editors: The Quabbin Poetry Club & The Outer Fringe, Issue #6, Editor: Thomas Pagano.
Watery Words
Words
Splash at my feet
Sound
Trickles in my ears
The music flows over my body
Like strong Atlantic waves
Beating on the rocky shore
I need this
I need you
Your heavy breaths of smoky language
Like dewy fog
You lead me through dark seaweed
As a lighthouse shines
On the blinding way
I am floating on your melody
And drowning in your dirge
Save me with your watery words
