PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I have made this challenge a library,

over half a year of shifting

I have tried to tell a pretty tragedy

but somehow the pretty’s missing

Good intentions, I want to spread heart

Gray creeps up around my grin

This year’s library is how I keep

knives from slipping under my skin

Still grass grows around sinkholes,

showing just how we survive

We try to shine in our own spaces

pull magic out of staying alive

We have made this challenge a library,

a year of change and how we show it

We have tried to tell a pretty tragedy

and that’s what I call a poet
