Pause for Poetry
What are you creating during National Poetry Month? I’m working on writing a poem a day. It’s not going as well as I planned, but creativity sometimes doesn’t work that way.

For fun and inspiration!
I was honored with First Place in the Gold Country Poetry Contest!
Here is my first place poem – enjoy!
Lilith
the second woman was constructed from
previously owned parts without warranty
the first- like Adam – was molded from earth
more solid than ribs
harder than bricks to build cities
she did not bow her head or curtesy
instead ran straight at the volcano
Adam trailing behind – is this a good idea?
She pressed him back into the ground
sharing how the earth sways
the banging surf spume
gulls swoop overhead
the hard shore washed over
and over – yes, yes.
pious men of the church
unable to tolerate a happy ancestor
deleted this first wife,
as is so often the case
promoted the new trophy wife
made of ribs ripped from Adam
Love is pain
Quoted God –
love this one, a better
but lesser version of you.
to serve up transgressions
– Eve’s version
yet, yet, those first days in the fresh world
the surf, the cries, the trembling earth
sent a collective memory
vibrating through all time
drawn to the edge of the shore
women lift their faces to the sky
the rolling sea foam
waves gently lapping in and out.
Why do the gulls cry yes, yes?
