going viral & npm2020 poetry videos day 10 "Birdseed"

Have you been mapping the spread?














 transmission dynamics

it starts small
with a single carrier
at an innocent party underground

one warm breath
a sprinkle of drops
invisible virus leaps and bounds

 
then it spreads
from branch to branch
with exponential width and depth













gold touches green
light pink infects blue
pandemic spring takes our breath

****************************************
My project this month is to post short videos each day of me, reading my published poems.  Here's "Birdseed" for Day 10, but I'm way behind!  Today is a catch-up day...as the kids say, "Don't forget to subscribe to my channel!"



I will also be participating once again in our Choose Your Own Adventure-style Progressive Poem--the map of that spreading epidemic of poetry is on the right side bar! Matt at Radio, Rhythm & Rhyme catches the ProgPo fever today and we are invited to remember the great Tomie DePaola with somber joy in all his contributions, between book covers and beyond.

Our host today for Poetry Friday is Amy at The Poem Farm, where she continues her extraordinary poetry video series from inside the belly of Betsy, the blue poetry camper!
