Today’s Poem Today

Day 37

Bright sun in tree tops
Shadows on the grass below
Beauty through contrast

Today’s Poem Today is a new adventure. Since April 1 of this year, I’ve been writing a poem every morning (often a haiku), then posting a few of them days or even more than a week later. It occurs to me that life is changing so quickly, that many of the poems make the most sense on the day they were written — especially because they are titled for the number of days I’ve been sheltering in place. Who knows how long I will continue writing these poems, but starting today I’ll be sharing them in their tender nakedness on the day they were born.
