The plastic houseplants
Are they happy in beauty
do they long for growth?

The grass knows all our secrets
It waves a warning

longing for sunlight

Phases of the moon
We are waiting for fullness
let it glow from dark
In honor of April being National Poetry Month, I have an exciting announcement regarding the poetry-themed literary journal I run! Starting in April, Ephemeral Elegies will be expanding to two poems weekly! Stay tuned for poems coming every Monday and Thursday, and feel free to head over to the site and subscribe for free to get poetry delivered directly to you twice a week.
Whether you’re a new, emerging, or established poet, we’d love to give you a chance at getting your work out into the world. Visit the Ephemeral Elegies Submission Page for more details about how you can be featured! This has been a huge labor of love over the years. I started this project at the start of 2020 with no idea about the upcoming pandemic and need for virtual catharsis. Through the years, we’ve grown and evolved, and it’s been so incredibly rewarding to connect with poets from all over the world.
