April Poem A Day Challenge, poem twenty-three:

Early Hours

Morning breaks over
The horizon with bright waves
Of light pouring down
But I rarely see the dawn
Because I sleep in quite late.

My hours of morning
Are in the middle of night
When the deep silence
Of blackest darkness falls down
Upon the resting landscape.

I am grateful:

1.   When I dropped the milk and the jug burst that it did not splatter all over me.
2.   We went for a ride and found several things to photograph on a clear day.
3.   We made macaroni salad for supper and it was delicious.
4.   My pain is a little better.
5.   I enjoyed writing haiku this evening.

I hope you have found happiness in your day and that you shared your smile with others. Take time to create something this weekend.

Always,

365 Creativity Project–Day 36

I felt uninspired, but Mom told me to write about Valentine’s Day, so I wrote the following poem:

Journal 2-14-20120001

I made this card for Mom:

I found this unicorn in Helen, Georgia, years ago. The unicorn has always been my favorite mythic creature, so I was overjoyed to find such a wonderful portrayal. I count this as one of my most treasured possessions.

I hope each day this month brings you an awareness of the love that surrounds you in life. May you find inspiration to do something creative today.

Always,
Jo Ann
