Poetry Prompt – April 30

April 30 – Write a poem about the sky in the middle of the day. It is a sky that doesn’t have the drama of a sunrise or sunset but is the one we live with the most. Find the beauty in that time. 

From the Muse Library: Torn Sky: Poems by Debra Nystrom. The landscape of Torn Sky is South Dakota, a place of extremes, where parched land meets frigid air and exiled Native Americans still struggle to live in peace alongside ranchers. Nystrom’s poems weave together the voices of her childhood with ghosts of the last two tumultuous centuries and articulate with such subtle and unsentimental grace that each side is understood.
