W - Window

 W – window 

An old NaPoWriMo prompt asked us to look out a window and jot down words of what we see. Then, mix and match those words to build a poem.   NaPoWriMo has some great prompts, so you may wonder why I use old ones. They are released day by day in April, and I need more time to prepare for the A to Z Challenge.  

My Out-the-Window words:

Clouds, moon, stars, Venus, bare branches, cedar trees, steam from the mill, black, shades of grey, shades of blue, blowing

My poem:

The branches of the cedar tree,

silhouetted against the black sky,

filter moonlight.

Steam from the mill rises white.

To the east the horizon pink,

as dawn nears.
