dVerse Poets Pub : Open Link Night, Week 45, Excerpt from “Four Months Of Mornings”
hosted by Brian Miller
*
this is a new way to post to dVersePoets’ open link night for me
i’m posting a new work, and it’s part of a collection of free verse poetry i have in ebook format
but, i haven’t published it yet 😉 target date is june 4th or soon after
there are several reasons for the delay:
formatting four months of work into one package; cut and paste is just the beginning; various elements need re-configuring, links and new internal table of contents created, and the newer unpublished segments still need re-reading and proofing
the third volume is still under a prior commitment of exclusivity, and is eligible for other publication after june 3rd
and i am wrapping up ebooking (a new word 😉 ) my collections of poetry dating from the early 90s, plus, beginning my first fiction work since the early early 80s
the sample below is my second to last installment on the fourth and last volume in the series
the series itself, four volumes, “A Month of Mornings,” was an experiment; it ended up leading me to realize that my later-in-the-day series, “Everyday Gratitude” encompassed what i was experiencing on waking
but i didn’t organically merge the two threads within for several months
this sample is longish, with most daily morning writings being one to one and a half pages long
experimental writing takes many forms and purposes, and in my case, helped me both create and clarify the process of integrating the portions of time in my every day life
it’s been an interesting process 😉
the time frame for this writing is about mid-april in northern vermont…

Volume Four, Day Thirty
huge snow flakes fall in varied fluffs
this morning, the temps hovering
near freezing, but rising into
the low 40s –
should mean no ice
a good thing 😉
we’re out to the pharmacy
for our lotions and potions
from our dr visits yesterday –
today, too
is my next to last posting in this
my first ever series, a month of mornings
and
a series of months it has been
so much learned from my
wakings and morning
wonderings
i see enough now, in this short time
of who i am, how i awake each
day
to feel i can blend the a.m.
into my day
in “everyday gratitudes”
which
when i began
i didn’t even know
to know
would be a goal and a
good thing to learn…
my days were
still apart –
in
pieces –
with practice, with these
morning musings
i’ve begun to
stitch the
patterns of my days
into one large comforter
large squares puffy with rounded
corners
here and there 😉
slabs of color next to carousels
swirling to barely-heard
music
it’s been a joy and a privilege to
set words to the sights of suns
rising
to the opening of my eyes
once more on my wife
near by
the light wed to our
windows
my coffee is ready and
my chores and day awaits
though really
it’s already
very much
begun 😉

you definitely should! i thought i’d be doing a much longer run of mornings, but they worked their way into so much a part of my days, i’ve now merged them with my daily gratitude writings
hope you give it a shot brian, i think you’d love it 😉 thanks so much 😉
