NaPoWriMo: Day 11 - Shifting Seasons

[alycewilson]

As part of National Poetry Writing Month, I will be writing 30 poems in 30 days. I will try to write one each day, but if I miss a day or two, I will catch up on later days. Sometimes I will be following prompts; while other days will come from my own ideas.

I based today's poem on the prompt from NaPoWriMo.net, which was to write a tanka.



Shifting Seasons

April grows warmer;
Spring skips forward to summer.
A breeze wafts gently
as I sort through my dresser
to find no shorts that still fit.
