April 8, 2018 NaPoWriMo Challenge Poem “Homo Aspirans”

Posted on by

Homo aspirāns

It seems our common fate:
to draw our last breath
on an inconvenient date
hoping for better than death.

  Leslie Schultz

Dear Readers, This morning, I inadvertently sent the day’s poem out under tomorrow’s date. Hence, two poems in one day, to catch up with deadlines properly labeled. Tomorrow, perhaps, an “April 9, Part II” — or perhaps we’ll observe a day of silence. Time will tell!  Leslie

  1. How wonderful you found a headstone with the name “Bye!” Happy to have two poems in one day.

    In my world of birding, I often say to myself at the end of the day, “It was a two snowy owl (or whatever I’ve noticed) day. Life is good!”

    Same with poems for me. So a happy mistake if a mistake it must be.

  4. Hi Ted,

    Your comment brought a much-needed laugh at the end of a somewhat stressful day–and I am still smiling! Leslie
