When I was in college I took a creative writing class. It was one of my favorite classes outside of my music curriculum. We wrote short stories and poems, but the poetry section was my favorite. Though I honestly don't read poetry too much, I so enjoy it. And I had such a wonderful time writing poems. I'd like to challenge myself to get back into writing poetry. I'm not sure I've written any poems since the class. (The challenge of writing seven posts in seven days is what got me thinking about that!)

I looked through some of the poems I wrote in college just a few (coughSIX?!cough) years ago. I wrote this one in February, so I though it would be appropriate to share today. I hope you enjoy it.

warm moonglow shining on

the frozen february earth

tucked in nature’s quilt of snow

each flake falls from

the starry night sky

pure innocent untouched until

snow crowned boots crunch

sparkling crystal sidewalks

never again the same

frost-glazed windows hide

those inside who are

not prepared to see the

bright red cardinal

perched on the picket fence

which reminds me of you

oh my heart

Do you ever write or read poetry? Who are your favorite poets? 

Linking up with Jen & many more - this is the second of my seven posts in seven days this week.
