I have happily accepted a poetry challenge by friend and
fellow artist Cath Blackfeather
to write one poem a day for five days (Click on her name to visit her site and read some of her fascinating writing).
You
can find each day’s poem here, in this post. These challenges always seem tough when you start out. However, some of the best poetry and haiku that I have written have come from just such as this. This has been great fun, and I encourage anyone to take this challenge on, whether you consider yourself a poet/writer, or not. Poems don;t have to be complex, elegant, or complicated. Sometimes they can just be fun!

Day #5
The Last Poem
By Judith Cullen
© 2015
A Cup O’ Noodles at 5am,
Face in a steamy reverie
Poem five must post today
What the heck will this one be?
Nature’s glory? That was four
No need to be repeating
Perhaps some deep, heartfelt emotion?
Number two, beware of prating
Inspiration lurks all around
Just need to see and catch it
The cat? the light? my asthma wheeze?
Good Lord! Could I
just scratch this?
Just sit your butt and start to write
The words will come, you know
There's always ideas awaiting release
A thought reveals and shows
The room, the hour seem desolate
What possibly can be said?
“It will come later” my inner voice says,
“Lay down, go back to bed”
