Day 1: Book Covers

    

It's NaPoWriMo time! 

    Today's prompt was to choose one of the vintage book covers on the site and write a poem      based on the one we chose. 

April

A bumble-bee cloud of daisies

floats above my head.

Daydreams buzz and hum, scatter

like a trickle of petals.

Breeze is lemon-zested,

days bulge with new light.

Colours soften to pastel, soothe worries to wonders.

Mellow with yellow delight,

April says 'begin,' - despite

winter, despite night, despite loss -

sun-kissed beams of hope.
