Day 4 of the challenge from the Poet’s Billow : The prompt for today is to write a poem including the words Bread,Butter and Milk. Enjoy!
I need you,
but you knew that already.
You are the bread that sustains me,
inspiring me with a solid reason,
the base on which I stack my fancy’s filling,
daily nourishment for my creative soul.
I searched for you.
Then I found you after tossing the clutter,
melted like butter at the first sight of you,
now necessary to my everyday,
that glue that keeps me together,
spreading through each waking thought.
Oh how I yearned for you!
You were the missing jigsaw piece,
the milk that now flows through my veins,
warming the cockles of my heart,
flowing fluidly through the channels
of love that draws me to you.

OK, here goes… bread, butter, and milk. Why those three items would make me think of mountain climbing, I’ll never know.
KATAHDIN
The view from the summit beckons,
buttering me up, urging, fueling my desire
Silver-blue dots point the way
like a trail of phosphorescent breadcrumbs
I follow them hungrily, determined
to know the dizzying splendor of victory
Where autumn tumbles into the valley
and spreads her auburn palette into forever
I want to spend eternity in this moment,
immerse myself and never come up for air
The chill wind of reality breaks the spell
Backpack suddenly heavy on my shoulders
The descent is a vampire, milking every
ounce of my energy and strength and will
I sign out at the trailhead, utterly spent
but unable to wipe the smile off my face

Bravo! Well done! I understand and can imagine the feeling having done my share of hiking. So glad you were inspired to write it. Post it on your Blog as well:-)

Thanks, Chev. I have written a memoir with all the details of the climb, and might post both the memoir and poem on my site in the future. I have promised not to inundate my readers with posts, so I try to keep it to one per week. Is Poet’s Billow a website? A blog? I love writing prompts and would probably sign up.

Great and I understand about following a schedule. I’m following Poet’s Billow and they occasionally show up on my Blog. It’s the first challenge/prompt I’m following to help test my creativity and respond spontaneously to a range of topics which I only see in the morning (my time). It does require that I post everyday for the month which is taxing but fun as well. Here is the link that you can follow:http://thepoetsbillow.org/2016/04/04/day-four-poetry-challenge/
