Poem* 5

5 Feb, 2012 Krista Words

spacer I want my day to feel like a whopping dollop of crème fraîche in a bowl of the juiciest strawberries ever grown.

I want kissing to feel like a breathless game of tug-of-war.

I want my next success to feel like the top of Kilimanjaro.

I want my body to feel like it can love me.

I want smiling to feel like that day between Winter and Summer when you notice the warm sun sinking into your pores for the first time in months.

I want my friendships to feel like those safe, quiet moments when you rest your head on someone’s shoulder.

I want my spirit to feel like sun rays busting through the clouds.

I want my integrity to feel like the tallest redwood tree in the forest.

I want my world to feel like a stranger’s smile.

I want my laughter to feel like pop rocks and moon pies and Coca Cola from a bottle.

I want the end of the day to feel like Chopin and candlelight.

I want my word to feel like the Eucharist on my tongue, a symphony in your ear.

I want being of service to feel like a mama bear’s instinct for her cubs.

I want my giving to feel like being caught in a torrential, but welcome, rainstorm.

I want my challenges to feel like the spider I crushed against the wall with one swift blow.

I want love to feel like laying in a hammock on a hot summer’s day, lemonade in hand.

I want my love to feel like the treasure at the end of the rainbow.

I want my writing to feel like the rivers that lead to Victoria Falls.

I want my ideas to feel like watching the stars come out at night and being lucky enough to see one shoot across the horizon.

*I am quite aware that I am not a poet, by any stretch of the definition. I know very little of stanzas and rhyming patterns, but I set a writing exercise goal to craft a “poem a day” for a month. I conveniently chose February, as it is the shortest month of the year, but just my luck–it happens to be a leap year. So unfortunately for me, or for you (however you care to look at this), I have 29 poems to write. This inspiration for this poem came from here.
