Day #1 NaPoWriMo 2025

Today’s poem

Inspired by this quote from Emily Dickenson

“However, dear,

Forever might be short,”

The length of a life?

Unpredictable 

Close guesses may suffice

for race car drivers, acrobats, 

and astronauts

A guess is still 

a guess

“Forever might be short”

Best get things done 

Plant seeds, write stories, 

 paint the woodwork,

Grow

The end of a life?

Unpredictable
