"Imitation is not just the sincerest form of flattery - it's the sincerest 

form of learning."— George Bernard Shaw

Welcome to Day 30 of FEET IN THE CREEK.

Well, it's been a month! I've had fun. I've learned, among other things, that I can write a lot more poems than I thought. And I've made some new friends, so April has been a good, full month. I leave you with one final creek poem. Then I'm going to put my feet in the creek and stay there for about a week!

Evening Nonet

Dusk.
The creek
clothes itself
with mystery.
Familiar shapes change
from sunlit certainty
to murky paths through darkness.
Unafraid, the creek surges on,
trusts it will find the way and the song.


Whether you find yourself on a path full of certainty or one with only the next step in view, may you move forward with a song and stop along the way to dangle your feet in the creek! Thanks so much for joining me on this poetry journey.
