SPRING IN MICHIGAN, 2018
They said rain was coming today,
freezing on the way down
into pellets. We prepared
for heaven’s ammunition,
bundled up at home. We moaned
about spring in Michigan
and global warming.
We cleaned things
since it’s spring, after all,
and that’s what you do in spring
in Michigan when you’re home
waiting for an ice storm
that never came. We felt cold
burn our skin when we
investigated, but the pavement
was dry. Tentative steps
to the mailbox, the way
you can’t just shake off
the memory of being a target.
Tell me about NaPoWriMo…I think I can guess, but I would love to hear from you. Obviously you are up for a challenge and Rockin it!

NaPoWriMo stands for National Poetry Writing Month, in which participants commit to writing a poem every day for the entire month of April. It goes along with NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month, which happens in November. It’s nothing official…you don’t get anything but bragging rights if you complete it…just a fun challenge!
