I'm really enjoying the #NaPoWriMo poem a day challenge! Here are a few more of my daily efforts... (posting in the name of National Poetry Writing Month...)
Any one else out there doing it? How's it going?

Pit-Stop (A Giver’s Remorse)
Some days
her heart feels
like a one-stop pit stop,
the kind
with chewing gum
pock-marked all over,
a careless spit blitz
of use and misuse,
relics of waste
from those who have
been,
loaded up,
and went on their way,
destination-greedy.
Some days
she watches their tail-lights
dilate in the distance
and regrets
how (conveniently) empty
she's become.
Meet-Cute (Haiku)
It was cute alright;
you and me and the gold light,
haloes all around.
Saturday
Saturday is like
a patch of green grass rest
in the week’s towering
concrete.
Why I Like Writing Poetry
When the right words
fit into the right place
on the page,
the world fits too.
And everything opens up
like a wide-eyed smile,
not the frown it
sometimes pretends to be.
No Poem Day
I can’t write a poem today
because
my mind is stuck
in first gear
and anyway
there’s a traffic jam of
thoughts
a mile long
bumper-to-bumper
honking horns
all blare and flare
all blare and flare
to get through
first
and the red light
hurts my eyes.
