WILD AT HEART

Raw

Untamed

Boundless urge

No cage can hold

Gone

Month of Poetry – NIGHT – Lantern #Poem – #MoP14

NIGHT

Night’s

Repose

In calm dark

Sleeps a dreamer

Hush

I had hoped this wouldn’t happen, but the ultra-intensive, dream picture book writing course that I’m taking in conjunction with this and another challenge is beginning to demand more and more of my attention and hard work. I’ve waited so long to be able to take it and I’m learning so much in such a compact amount of time, that I just can’t let it take a back seat.

Usually, dashing off a children’s poem helps me unwind at the end of a day or first thing in the morning, but today I’ve got nothing.

I want to stay committed to this challenge though, so I hope you won’t mind if I post my most popular poems of the past here and there. I just wanted to give a heads up that if a poem sounds familiar…it probably is!

Thanks for understanding! :0)

Well, we did it! The month is over, and so is #AprilPrompts and NaPoWriMo. Before that, it was Terri Giuliano Long’s #BlogFlash2013, and quite frankly, I’m exhausted.

Thanks to  my co-host, Carlie M A Cullen for joining me on this wild writing ride! Thank you for popping in and commenting on the work; I greatly appreciate it. I made new friends too-boot, so it was all well worth it. :0)

Now, I’m off to play catch up with my 12 x 12 Picture Book Group commitment, and dive into a big ‘ol stack of books!

Before I close, my dear friend, M G Wells just released her rhyming children’s picture book, Moobala Schmoobala. She’s given me permission to post a page from the story here to close out the month with a poem for kiddies too.

Thanks again everyone; see you soon.
