In My Wildest Dreams by Valeri Beers

I’m moving
to
Croatia
to be
a poet
on
Youtube

I’m the
Queen.
Lord Edward
of
Lincoln
Lady Rachel
of
the Ridge.

My
wildest dreams
are dreamed
on a
rural ridge
where wildlife
lives.

Unpheasant
the patridge
checks in
a
couple times
a
season.
Woodpeckers tapping
for
dominance
in
my backyard.
The
dead deer
in
the road,
white car smoking,
wind ruffling
the
brown fur
on
it’s neck.
Even
my cat
is described as
a
“little wild creature”
by the internet.

Ok Google,
how do  you say
poet
in Croatian?

Catching up…

I’m still inviting poetry prompts from you guys 🙂 Here are poetry prompts 1-3 from Poetry Pasta:

April 2, 2017   Poetry Prompt #2 – patience

I
learned it in line
at the post office

You
need it for work
need it for family

Axel Rose
sang about it

If I can’t
have you right now,
I’ll wait here.

April 3, 2017  Poetry Prompt #3 – Write about your father or father figure

I
once gave
Dad
a poem
for
Father’s Day
when I was
younger

I
once gave
Dad
writing on green paper
for
Father’s Day
when I was
younger

I liked
that song
Father Figure
when it came out
when I was
younger

 

The poem “The Writer” by Richard Wilbur
