Welcome to my April 2025 Great and Powerful Blogging from A to Z Challenge!

I’ve revealed my theme (A poem a day…with pictures), and of course, I am unashamedly blogging my theme letters on the fly.  So, here goes nothing!

So, without further ado, F is for …Free Verse. “Nonmetrical, nonrhyming lines that closely follow the natural rhythms of speech. A regular pattern of sound or rhythm may emerge in free-verse lines, but the poet does not adhere to a metrical plan in their composition.“

A good way to start the week, cause free verse is how I role most of the time…this is a Free verse but also a form poem called a Golden Shovel which “is a poetic form invented by Terrance Hayes that takes a word from each line of an existing poem and uses them as the last word of each line in a new poem.”

Sunset

After Robert Frost

The afternoon sun warms me and I
close my eyes. I wonder, have
these suns always been
in our skies? They say only one
sun meets the horizon, acquainted
with seas and skies. I watch twilight with
shadows of moon and stars, the
only hints of coming night.
