Like the Wind

Like the wind, I’ve drifted through the days without stopping to write on my blog. I let almost a week go by without a word…or a whisper…or an endearing note. Holiday, job searches, revisions, and spending time with my Love have stopped me from posting to my blog. I’m sorry for this lull of words. By next week, I’ll be in full force with keeping up with my posts. For now, you’ll just have to fill your time watching Dancing with the Stars and the Royal Wedding. ;) I'm sure you're upset about it. 

I hope you all had a nice Easter.

Easter Day by Oscar Wilde

Another poem in celebration of National Poetry Month and Easter.

THE silver trumpets rang across the Dome:
The people knelt upon the ground with awe:
And borne upon the necks of men I saw,
Like some great God, the Holy Lord of Rome.
Priest-like, he wore a robe more white than foam,
And, king-like, swathed himself in royal red,
Three crowns of gold rose high upon his head:
In splendour and in light the Pope passed home.
My heart stole back across wide wastes of years
To One who wandered by a lonely sea,
And sought in vain for any place of rest:
'Foxes have holes, and every bird its nest,
I, only I, must wander wearily,
And bruise my feet, and drink wine salt with tears.'

Good Friday!

It’s Good Friday and once again I’m blessed to have a poem published in Danse Macabre.  You’ll find my poem, Time under Villanus poetica.  This not only is Good Friday, but the second day of National Poetry Writing Month.  I hope to write a poem every day.

You can recognize National Poetry Writing Month by writing a poem, reading a poem, etc.  I have a link on my side bar that offers ways to celebrate Poetry Month.  If you’d like, please post a poem here for all of us to enjoy, or email it to me through my profile and I’ll post it.  

  

Have a wonderful Good Friday, and I wish you and your family a safe and happy Easter!
