This morning, I wrote two short poems as part of my aim to write poetry every day. The first one is inspired by the image that Bud Hunt posted at his blog. I went with the haiku this morning, thinking of summer nights.
Damp grass as pillow,
We’re dreaming; the universe
now strangely quiet.
The second is a silent video that Mary Lee Hahn posted at A Year of Reading. The lack of sound made it more intriguing, I think.
Rituals
rule our lives –
Echoes from past
shape our times –
The silent sounds of drums
pounding in rhythm to
the beat of our hearts
keep us alive.
Peace (in the poems),
Kevin
