Day 16 – Leaves on the Ground | Poem a Day (NaNoWriMo)

by Elizabeth Bennefeld2019-11-16

willow leaves and grass in melting November snow

like autumn leaves
at the edge of winter
brown on green
dreaming of the halcyon days
that are surely yet to come

Day 14 – Respite | Poem a Day (NaNoWriMo)

by Elizabeth Bennefeld2019-11-14

shaded river path
rippling water’s cheerful song
soft grass underfoot

nature’s essence soothes the heart
calms the sorrows of the soul

Day 13 – Unsettled Winter | Poem a Day (NaNoWriMo)

by Elizabeth Bennefeld2019-11-132019-11-13
pile of brown, fallen leaves on top of the snow in the front yard
Intermission

 


 

restless leaves dance
across the newly white grass
never still for long

errant winds stir them around
shaking off the falling snow

black and white fallen leaves on the ground

just before the snow

Day 7 – Perspective | Poem a Day (NaNoWriMo)

by Elizabeth Bennefeld2019-11-08

clouded sky

leaves upon the road
farther, the first quarter moon
clouds and tree branches

wayward breezes stir the waves
moonlight is lost in the sky

Day 3 – Stage Fright | Poem a Day (NaNoWriMo)

by Elizabeth Bennefeld2019-11-05

standing on a stage
without a script or cue cards
feeling out of place

I wonder, what comes next?
when the final curtain drops?

Day 2 – Happily Ever After | Poem a Day (NaNoWriMo)

by Elizabeth Bennefeld2019-11-022019-11-02
a view of a lake inlet from the top of a hill
At Peace

Happily Ever Afters

Live ever after
with the happilies you find
Cherish the memories
that leach the pain from grief
Turn from dead regrets
to each experience
of presence freely given,
in joy still received

The morning after the night before

Solitary leaf

Brown leaves and green

Against the garden fence

At the edge of light
