floating on waves of air,

while I,

remain strapped
hopelessly surface bound.

Re: National Poetry Month Celebration 2019 - Post Poems Here!
At Tracy's suggestion I will post the April poems here. #1 And Thus It Begins April. Poetry month. And thus it begins On this the first day Traditionally ceded to fools. Hence the lettermen sharpen their tools Lead and ink away Weave words in a spin. The poets plunge. April.
