NaPoWriMo 2026 Day 30

We’ve reached the end! May your words continue to flow! Now get out there and get ready for May Day!

The Eve of May

amid all the ripples of news
the ever presence of it all
all day every day all night
the world stands on a knife
the flats along the river’s edge
this green yellow burstin out
past the dark winter river gray
elbowing past April to May
Shake your bells! Leap up! Beat your sticks
on the still drowsy earth waking
turning point of the year we sing!
calling forth the spring and our lives
So unlikely, so sharp this blade
allow the joy! Feel life moving!
