It is National Poetry Month, so I am posting a poem a day as I participate in the AtoZ writing challenge. I will be writing ekphrastic poetry (a poem that was written with inspiration from an image) using a randomly generated image with a randomly generated FAKE word all this month. I am using the site: https://randomwordgenerator.com to get both a fake word and random image for the day. I try to use the first randomly generated word that appears with the correct letter for the day and then pick the picture that seems to go with it somehow. Here's today's image and poem using the FAKE word "evative":
In the Eyes
I saw inside the clearest eyes
the green of early spring
the grassy fields of summer
evative butterflies on wing
the beauty of an autumn leaf
aswirl to land on pond -
those sparkling eyes far focused
looking deeply far beyond.
They searched what lay 'cross waving field
across the foaming sea
yet all the while those jade green eyes
were gazing up at me.
And I could see the trust in them
the joy in deepest well
a mother loves the near and far
the eyes of children tell.

Stay tuned for F!
