INTRODUCTION
GLOBAL/NAPOWRIMO 2022
MY FOURTEENTH YEAR
Hi Everybody, it's that time again already where you can take the challenge of writing thirty poems (one each day) during the thirty days of April. As always, I would like to take this opportunity to wish each and every participant a very happy and creative Napowrimo. I won't be following Napowrimo prompts this year or fishing for comments, I will simply be posting a poem a day on my StraightTalkingStreetTalkingSweet bloggage at sewina(dot)blogspot(dot)com
Happy Napowrimo,
Andy
MY INTRODUCTION POEM
Here's mine:
WELCOME TO PARADISE
With the power of love and a sound mind
the children can play outside without fear
Here we go again sideways sometimes
sitting on Brown Sugar Beach
Watching the tide come in
waiting for the two suns to rise
(you have to be up early to see that happen)
up before daylight out before dawn
it's all won or lost by six in the morn
The strawberry scented ocean lapping the shore
never smelt so good as this before
Welcome to Paradise but some people
don't think that way the grass is always greener
on the other side of the pond they tell me
however I know that I know they don't know
For me this Island is the one and only Tiny Tree
the place where I've always been
the place where I will always be
My here and now on Earth taken with a pinch of salt
a hardwood honey dipper dripping honey
onto an overflowing glass of apple wine
stirred and shaken mixed with imagination
Blended into the unreality of time an eternal past
a present and a future shouting bawling screaming
the here and now from the rooftops
So your children and mine can play without fear
with the power of love and a sound mind
