April - NaPoWriMo - 22
The squalling clouds shed tears last night While sunshine painted pepper on the sky. Rainwater bled the light away To black and white and gray. Reverberating roadways crawled On fields of yesterday till colors all Were saffron rust and locked away In black and white and gray. By dizzied crow, fierce shoots appeared With tendrils green that flinched amid the fear Of yesteryear. I tried to pray For black and white and gray. The earth’s emporium, mustard-seed Of hope tomorrow wakening the tree Belabored hearts might turn away From black and white and gray. Then morning wakes And colorizes dreams. Written for readwritepoem # 22, a wordle of Reverberate Rust, Saffron, Pepper, Tomorrow, Emporium, Dizzy, Squall, Fierce, Crow, Flinch, Tendril: and earth day.
