April 1: Spectrum Analysis

 Been a minute. Life gets wild. April is a good time to find some time to write. Today’s prompt comes from the excellent resource Napowrimo. The prompt today was to write a poem using a book cover.

Spectrum Analysis

To have and to hold

On both ends of a spectrum


Behold, the bright hue made from each one of us!

To be one of the pixels in the gradient

A piece of the slurring of colors.


Floating in the sky 

After a gentle outpouring of precipitation.


this is supposed to be a harbinger of hope.

Sprucing up a horizon

With practical fixes.

On a budget.


Sometimes, even the budget has limits.

Draw it with broken crayons.

Hang it with pushpins.

Make trumpet fart sounds.

Live in the glory of the kitchen with at least one light bulb that is blinking with fatigue.


Let the light catch just it the right way

Then try not to think about it 

Too much.
