30 Poems in 30 Days - Twenty: Autobiography

The prompt for today's poem is to take a moment from your life, or an imagined life, and recreate it in rich sensory detail and imagery.

Autobiography
Danna

Sitting
in the crook
of the
tree

Hard bark
pressing
into
flesh

Sky the color
of a fresh
promise

Geese honking
overhead were
messengers

Sent to tell
me I
needed
my own
ocean

I was the
master
of a great
ship

A captain
of the roiling
waves

Life was
so much bigger
then

So much
smaller
