The day

Since it's National Poetry Month, I thought I should write at least one poem. I began with "the day is" and took off from there. I will welcome your thoughts, and if you'd like to share a poem that begins with "the day is" or begins with something else, please paste it into a comment.

the day
by laura mc hale holland

the day is a love letter
run-on moments punctuated
by breezes, shadows, whispers, sighs
crumpled by engines, exhaust
discarded curly fries
torn by jets soaring
the message, so tender, falls, hits landfill
unrequited love, blighted
it turns, turns through the night
until composted, reconstituted
the day opens anew at dawn
trying again to speak again
for love again
