Today is National Poetry Day, and the theme is 'Home'. I hadn't realised this earlier today, but funnily enough I was writing about autumn and how the seasonal theme seems to shift subtly; the summertime theme is being outdoors, whereas in autumn we tend to retreat indoors more and life becomes more centred around the home... Although on lovely days like today, there's surely nothing better than to be outdoors enjoying the crisp air and the blazing leaves that are the signature of this season...
Anyway, I'm not sure whether I'll have time today to write anything else, so instead here's something I wrote a while ago. Short and sweet, but nevermind - poems don't have to be long. How does it relate to 'home'? Well, which home, which fireplace, would be complete without a rug??!
Rich Tapestry ...
A single ray of sunlight
On the faded, worn, rug.
What secrets does it hold?
Time for another of my little Creative Challenges now, I think!
Write a little poem on the theme of 'home'
- or 'autumn'
Or share your favourite poem - either by you or one by someone else
