Daily Spontaneous Poem #518
4/1

Sunrise in Winchester, VA, the second day of this current journey (by Michael Czarnecki).

not even what they said
but just seeing him
standing next to him
speaking briefly to him
this poet whose poems
meant so much to her
brought tears to her eyes

Daily Spontaneous Poem #519
4/2

Sun and oak, Washington Square Park, New Orleans (by Michael Czarnecki).

conference over
now in another place
gentle sadness
left behind
sweet connections
that hopefully
someday
may reconnect

Daily Spontaneous Poem #520
4/3

Sunbeams through Pacific fog, Portuguese Bend Reserve, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA (by Michael Czarnecki).

morning hike
fogged-in Pacific
far below hillside path
out of sight
peacocks call constantly

Note from Kathabela: I met Michael while I was performing with him at off-site readings for the large AWP Convention held in Los Angeles March 30 – April 2, 2016. He writes and numbers a “spontaneous poem” on Facebook each day, and also posts a daily photo. I was so impressed with his ongoing poetic journey.
