Calling All Poets ..........

A friend reminded me today that April is Poetry Month.   This calls for a celebration.

If, throughout the month of April. you would like to share your poetry with the world on this blog please just send it my way and I will be happy to post it for you.

I enjoy writing rhymes.  I was fortunate to have one of my poems published by White Mountain Publishing, New Liskeard, in their publication titled Moments in Time.

It is called What If  and I will share it with you now.

What If

A what if feeling arrived late last night
I took it to bed in the dark out of sight
But not out of mind
though I'd like it to be
Can't quite understand
what has happened to me.

It was still there this morning,
I wish it would leave
It arrived uninvited insisting believe
Couldn't focus on work
so my feet hit the trail
Each step stamped this feeling
but to no avail.

What triggered this feeling?
What word, what cruel twist
has weasled its way into what doesn't exist?'
The question what if
has stolen my morning
And coloured my feelings
as though they were mourning
The loss of something
that hasn't transpired
Except in my mind.
