After reading a blog post by Laura McHale Holland, I decided to follow her lead and post a poem to celebrate National Poetry Month. She wrote a poem beginning with this writing prompt: "The Day Is..." She offered the prompt to her readers and asked them to leave comments and poems. This recycled poem seems to fit well with that prompt. It also fits this gorgeous, golden, and warm spring day. Check out Laura's lovely poem too.

The Day Is
Golden warm
before the
season remembers its pattern
bright laughter
sprinkles like freckles
between our
words
The drifting
drawn lifting tone
of saxophone settles
like satin
against our ears
Crowds and cars
like colored marbles
spill before us
In unison
golden warm
mingle
circle leaves,
long hair, skirts
Suspend the
season
