NPM 2019 Day 1: A Triolet for Spring

Last year during National Poetry Month I shared a poem that was new to me each day. I loved exploring poets I hadn't read before. This year I've decided to share original poetry.

On Saturday I spent the day at the Virginia Museum for Fine Arts in a teacher workshop entitled The Art and Science of Trees. As part of that workshop we made books, created art, and wrote poems. Here's one entry from the book I made.

A Triolet for Spring
Push winter out the door today
let's celebrate the coming spring
while ambling down the wooded way

Push winter out the door today
count the days 'til the blush of May
spy flowers gold and birds that sing

Push winter out the door today
let's celebrate the coming spring!

Happy April to one and all and a big warm welcome to National Poetry Month. See you tomorrow.
