The Fool

First words for a fool

following her shadow home

like a listless dog

lazily chasing his tail

finally feeling the bite

NaPoWriMo 2026

Tanka tinkering

Wandering

Under glowing gibbous

of a pink full moon

interlaced with celebratory threads

of Prophet and prankster

the MuZe

begins the Golden Spiral

weaving weft

- an idyllic mind-space retreat

- a trifecta of words

- 100 days of making

into

simultaneous contrast

a tapestry φf perception

Today marks the beginning of the National Poetry Month and as part of this I will be writing a poem a day for the next 30 days.

Here will be my words - unedited, sometimes rushed, often forced and just maybe, if the muse is kind, beautiful....

Join me on my poetic exploration of all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities:

nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect

(Feedback is welcome, kindness is appreciated)

Be sure to follow my fellow traveller, The Lackadaisical Poet, wherever she goes.

It is the journey that is everything.
