Today’s poem was part of a special launch schedule during National Poetry Month from April 1—30, 2024. I posted a new poem daily for 17 days and then got knocked off schedule because…I moved! This challenge restarted on May 1 and continues for the 13 days I missed. The final summary of all poems will be sent to all subscribers on May 24 and otherwise can be viewed for free in the archives here. Thank you for being here!
“AFTER BLUE CURTAINS AND ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST”
Waterfall cast, green air prismed into shadow and prime. Everyone’s as real as Dakota Johnson’s limes.
P.S.
Is this my first rhyming poem written as part of this series? I think so. Enjoy this short and sweet poem written while sitting on the floor of my condo next to the new curtains I got that my cat has already chewed up in 18 places. I always ask ChatGPT what my poems mean after I’ve written them, just to see what it thinks. It couldn’t quite crack this one, called it “surreal”. There you go.
