{day 28 - Happy Birthday Ali and Carter!!!}
...as in, actual poetry.
Today I produce a poem which is not my own. It is Sam's (my husband).
Technically this counts as part of my 30 day challenge because I am his muse (wink, wink) and so, in a way, this writing is inspired by me and therefore comes from me.
Ha! Okay, Okay, the poem;
***
I rest beneath both feather and wing
yet glimpse the ground below.
The sky above, I fly between-
both stars and fallow soil.
My muse in sight! Two doves did light-
three arm-lengths yon to feed.
To these I offer that which I write-
yet come they have for seed!
~Sam Carter

Sam has a beautiful gift for words, for which I know I cannot seriously
take any credit. I admit I am extremely jealous of his abilities
and feel pretty dumb doing these 30 days of "poetry" when I read stuff
like this. But alas, I will not be shut up.
