Poetry Month Day 7: How I’m Doing

A notebook that reads "Ridiculously Good Ideas"

Each
day I
move myself
start to finish,
not quite knowing how

I
have the
energy
to keep going
but somehow I do…

I
do think
probably
I could use some
time to just relax.


Sometimes, when I’m looking for a way to post a poem for the day, I’ll look around for a poetic form I’ve been waiting to try. Today, it’s the Arun, a poem with three sets of five lines, with each line increasing in number of syllables from one to five.
