Poetry Month

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
