I Need to Live Near the Beach: NPM23 Day 29

Today as I wandered, looking for inspiration for a poem for day 29, I turned to the Moving Writers blog and found this post by Brett Vogelsinger, which led me to the poem I Need to Live Near a Creek that became my mentor text for today. I knew I wanted to write from this photo that I took today on a walk at the beach–the curlew flying out of the frame of my photo as I clicked the shutter.

I Need to Live Near a Beach

because

seabirds fly

somersaulting

on briny breezes

lifting my mood

with their wings

    So much to love here! A wonderful mentor poem, an inspiring photo and a poem I can thoroughly relate to. I’ve read along most of the month, and am only sorry I didn’t comment more! Congrats on a great NPM!!
