Give me your hand
Make room for me
to lead and follow
you
beyond this rage of poetry.
Let others have
the privacy of
touching words
and love of loss
of love.
For me
Give me your hand.

I’m gonna get me some mummy tape for your love
preserve it for 3000 years or more
I’m gonna let the world see you
tapping a blue shell dance of love
I’m gonna ride your love bareback
on totem poles
bear your image on mountains
turning in ocean sleep
string your sighs thru the rainbow
of old age.
In the midst of desert people and times
I’m gonna fly your red/eagle/laughter ‘cross the sky

It was a long time ago.
I have almost forgotten my dream.
But it was there then,
In front of me,
Bright like a sun–
My dream.
And then the wall rose,
Rose slowly,
Slowly,
Between me and my dream.
Rose until it touched the sky–
The wall.
Shadow.
I am black.
I lie down in the shadow.
No longer the light of my dream before me,
Above me.
Only the thick wall.
Only the shadow.
My hands!
My dark hands!
Break through the wall!
Find my dream!
Help me to shatter this darkness,
To smash this night,
To break this shadow
Into a thousand lights of sun,
Into a thousand whirling dreams
Of sun!

I decided to do another contest since it’s National Poetry Month. I didn’t write a poem a day like most, but I will be posting some of my favorite poems by others on even calendar days beginning today.
I am giving away a signed copy of my book “28″ AND a $10 gift card to Amazon.com to TWO lucky winners.
This is an excerpt from my favorite “love” poem:
I love you
because you made me
want to love you
more than I love my privacy
my freedom my commitments
and responsibilities
I love you 'cause I changed my life
to love you
because you saw me one friday
afternoon and decided that I would
love you
I love you I love you I love you
What is the title of this poem and who wrote it?
There are TWO ways to enter this contest:
- Follow me on twitter
@ShennaNanette and tweet the answer with the hashtag #28poetrymonthcontest to me. - Like “28″ on Facebook and post answer on wall with hashtag #28poetrymonthcontest
You can enter more than once to increase your chances of winning. I will add a number to each entry and randomly pick two winners. However, you must include the hashtag for your entry to count.
Contest ends Saturday, April 28, 2012 and winners will be announced Monday, April 30, 2012
GOOD LUCK!!!
As Always,
Live|Laugh|Love
