I wrote this poem some time ago to a word prompt from David L. Harrison's blog. I hope you enjoy it...
Beginnings
A speck
A hope
A spark of fire
A seed
An inkling of desire
A thought
An effort
A ray of light
A drop of ink
On a sea of white

It's Poetry Friday as well as National Poetry Month, so don't miss the round-up today at Reading to the Core.
Oh, look at the smile on that grown-ups face over the joy of holding that special baby. My goodness, hope seeds abound. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is really lovely, Karen, and "with" those wonderful pics, too!
ReplyDeleteYour poem is perfection -- love the images too!
ReplyDeleteI love the look and rhythm of your poem and I too love the photo of the baby and that there is so much love in it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous all around, Karen! "A drop of ink / On a sea of white" - love the possibility of this beginning. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry it took me more than a week to get here, Karen, but it was definitely worth it! What a gorgeous poem and photos to match! Thank you for sharing.
