Welcome to my April 2026 Great and Powerful Blogging from A to Z Challenge!

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

So, without further ado, B is for … Begin Again

This is a “begin again” poem…

Begin Again
(After Phillip Levine and Major Jackson)

Let me begin again
as a nightmare in your dreams
holding you captive under storm clouds
and dust.
Let me begin again
as thickened tendrils of seaweed
pulling you down into a swamp
covered in slime.
This time let me
find you where I wish you to be,
trapped in a darkened closet
sinking in the corner
by the locked door.
Let this time let me be the one
pushing fear into your heart
as I turn my back and walk
into the sunshine.

Thanks for visiting my 2026 A to Z Challenge – Letter B.
