Poetry eZine ~ April 2012

Saturday, April 7

Because we talked to something we didn't understand yesterday, it's time to speak to something a little less strange today.

Write a poem to your past or your past self. This can take the form of a letter or an ode - anything really. What would you like to say to you or your past? Are there any particular images which are reoccurring or have taken on special significance now that you have the lens of time to look through?

In a way, the poem which comes to us today has done that. Entitled "Old Botany", this poem by Mike Bayles takes us through a memory of the past in a scene in which he's touring a favorite place with a family member. Perhaps it will inspire you as well! Happy Writing!
