waking birds compose
poetry with today's dawn
sunbeams falling as line
breakspoetry with today's dawn
~~~
trees on the hillside
applaud with shivers and snaps
higher praise cannot be found

More metapoems from this month
The skinny below is inspired by a Molly Hogan poem at Nix the Comfort Zone.Finally...
Selfie Poem
A poem stands
before the light
before the light
of a mirror
first stanza
no, second--
thrust forward
metaphors tucked in,
rhymes arranged
in rhythmic ringlets
A dazzling
bright-as-our-sun
hyperbole
of a smile grins
first stanza
no, second--
thrust forward
metaphors tucked in,
rhymes arranged
in rhythmic ringlets
A dazzling
bright-as-our-sun
hyperbole
of a smile grins
until a quiet
click.
click.
The End
