NaPoWriMo 1
This is going to be interesting. Due to a lack of internet connection I’m endeavouring to do this post on my phone using the Android app.
This is my first poem for NaPoWriMo 2014 and is short because I also think my battery will run out soon!
The last 12 months have been a bit of a roller coaster which culminated which my wife and I separating. It was a mutual decision but the actual physical separation was me moving out. This only happened in February; so it’s still too soon to provide perspective. Hence this poem.
First Spring
Today is the first day.
The first day of Spring.
The first Spring of separation.
The first separation.
Today is the last day.
The last day of promise
The last promise of together
The last together
Today is now.
The first now of me
The first me of independence
The first independence
sorry to hear but it will get better, believe me I had some dark days when I moved out of a relationship. Though a little scared it is much better now in this new life of mine 🙂 May your days be brighter. Good to see you back too.

Sorry about the separation. Your poem captures the mixed feelings that come with the end of a relationship. I’m glad to see you back–and I’m looking forward to reading your poems this month.
