My Love, Jim

Your skin glows like the mango, blossoms funny as the daisy

 in the purest hope of spring.
My yearning heart rises to your violin voice and leaps like a turtle

at the whisper of your name, Jim.
The evening ascends in on a great bowerbird wing.
I am calmed by your shirt that I carry into the twilight of

spoonbeams and hold next to my elbow.
I am filled with hope that I may dry your tears of apple juice.
As my lips fall from my shoes, it reminds me of your dinner.
In the hushed, I listen for the last whisper of the spring.
My heated neck leaps to my dress. I wait in the crystal moonlight for your

secret paper so that we may sleep as one, neck to neck, in search of

the glorious purple and spiritual cabbage of love.

Day 14 ~ “All About Me Poem” for “30 Poems in 30 Days” #NationalPoetryMonth

All About Me Poem ~ a mini autobiographical poem

Here’s a fun little poem I think you will enjoy – I do believe poetry comes from the heart – but there is more than one way to reach into your heart. Questioning is always helpful in finding things out. Sometimes, when we answer questions, we find things out about ourselves we had not given much thought to before. So, this poem is called "All About Me" ~ just answer the questions and voila’ ~ you've created a poem!! Pretty cool and tonz’ of fun, especially with kids.

The “All About Me” poem can be deep and insightful or fun and silly. You can do it over and over, answering the questions from a different perspective. Enjoy!!

Here is the format:

Line 1: Your first name only __________________

Line 2: Four adjectives that describe you ________

Line 3: Sibling of ___________________________

Line 4: Lover of ____________________________

Line 5: Who fears __________________________

Line 6: Who needs _________________________

Line 7: Who gives __________________________

Line 8: Who would like to see _________________

Line 9: Resident of __________________________

Line 10: Last Name _________________________

Here's mine:

Stephanie 

Optimistic, loyal, spiritual and creative 
Sibling of Camille 
Lover of life, God, family, friends and nature 
Who fears not getting the really important things done 
Who needs understanding, family, friends, and lots of books 
Who gives encouragement, and love 
Who would like to see everyone get along (and maybe see Europe)
Resident of the universe 
Abney
