Day 13: Grateful

Today, in honor of the potential luckiness of the number 13, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that, like the example poem here, joyfully states that “Everything is Going to Be Amazing.” Sometimes, good fortune can seem impossibly distant, but even if you can’t drum up the enthusiasm to write yourself a riotous pep-talk, perhaps you can muse on the possibility of good things coming down the track. As they say, “the sun will come up tomorrow,” and if nothing else, this world offers us the persistent possibility of surprise.

NaPoWriMo
Everything terrifying 
has an eggshell of beauty
Stained in skin is hope
Marrowed deep are chromosomes
Of not just survival, but joy  
Remember the yin and yang 
Of this sweet and sour life
A tornado in the pink of spring
A delightful poem in the mind’s
World wide web of synapses
