World Poetry Day 2023
A Poem Dipped in Blue
Morning poetry
Mirrored in squiggles,
a poem dipped in
blue shallows,
like a bird on the hunt,
a fish on the lam,
hidden in azure sheens,
silent in morning light,
a poem — floating
to the top of my morning,
when my night holds tight
unfinished dreams,
unrealized hopes,
and day offers no
promises other than
a poem dipped in blue,
and that is enough.
