Happy National Poetry Month!

Spring is (finally) in the air!  Plants are blooming, birds are singing, and poets are poem-ing! 

In honour of National Poetry Month 2014 (and because I am bombarded with homework and have little time to blog in my last end of semester crunch ever...at least for a while), I am going to post poems that I write in response to prompts from the Writer's Digest's Poem-a-Day (PAD) Challenge. 

Here's today's poem.

Day 10: Future poem

"Like a Train, Hallelujah"

 

Here we go

careening on

like a train

toward a turnoff

unsure if the lever

will be pulled

or if we will go

careening on

off the tracks,

over the edge,

into the unknown.

 

The lever is pulled

and we go

careening on

down the tracks

into the unknown.

 

Hallelujah.
