Time to kick off for National Poetry Month!
Before we get into our featured poets, I have an incredible poem to share with you. It’s from a poet I previously featured, Karly Robinson. If you haven’t read her other poems, I encourage you to take the time to check them out: Paper Dreams and Gravel Road
Please enjoy!
Can You See the Breeze – by Karly Robinson
Can you see the breeze
Rustling up the falling leaves
Can you feel the wind
Gently prickling on your skin
Can you feel it now,
can you feel it now,
can you feel it calling out
Listen to it yell,
listen to it yell,
swelling up inside you now
What is home
And when will I be there
Where am I
Except fighting this weather
Who knows when
It will get any better
Someone told me
But I can’t remember
Did I choose this
Can it be changed
Fearing the choice
Instead of the pain
Facing the void
Inside of this train
Of thought
Lost
Catching fire in my mind
All the time
It helps to rhyme
I’m fine
Trying it out for size
And I’m biding time
Trying to decide
