April is National Poetry Month, and over at
www.writersdigest.com they are doing a Poem a Day Challenge. I have participated in nearly all of the prompts, so please go check it out if you feel the need. I really wanted to share the poem I wrote for yesterday's challenge. The prompt was to write about an animal, and I couldn't help but thinking of the images that came to me during the Write the Dream conference I went to back in March. If you know my dad you know what I mean about him drawing everyone and everything in. Love you, Dad!
Horses and My Dad
In a dream he
walked toward me
across green pasture
from beneath the trees
They followed him out
from all around
trusting where he led
I woke and wondered
what it meant
A cowboy
trailed by horses
And then I knew
the truth I saw
My dad just
draws souls in
Yet he will always
come to me
if I am lost from him
