I’m celebrating National Poetry Month by writing and reading poetry, every day.
For writing inspiration, I decided to write from a list I made last month of 30 things that make me happy. One each day of the month.
Today, day seven: berry, banana and apple smoothies
searching for the cool
I open the freezer door
air billows meeting
the heat of my face
caressing my nose, cheeks, ears
I stand soaking up
artificial frost
seeking the bag of berries
a sweet tart jumble
balanced by creamy
too sweet banana apple
liquifies the blend
I’ve never been a smoothie person…but this might convince me. Nom.
I love the way you took a list and created a poem. Maybe there are other slices that will become poems too!
Smoothies make everything better! I like your taking us to the ‘cool’ with you!
As I read the beginning and visualized you in front of the freezer, I could hear my dad (in my head) hollering about closing that freezer door. No savoring the frosty air in my house allowed. The smoothie sounds like a perfect antidote to a hot body. 🙂
Yum! I’ve got to start reading your poems in the morning. You make me hungry.
Each stanza made me feel like I was right there with you through every step.
