This is my second year participating in the April Poem-A-Day Challenge, hosted by Robert Lee Brewer at Writers Digest. Each day, participants receive a prompt. We can either write a poem related to the prompt or simply submit an original poem. I really enjoyed last year's challenge, particularly adding photos and sounds/videos/music that I felt went along with the day's prompt. Today, we were asked to write an introduction poem.

Here is my poem:
Priscilla and Ro
I send her sparkles to stay in touch.
So she’ll remember I still love her so much.
She stops what’s she’s doing. I see her cry.
But then she smiles and lets out a sigh.
My name is Priscilla and her name is Ro.
She rescued me 5 years ago.
Last September I left her side.
She still grieves the loss but not the ride.
Be kind. Stay curious.
XO,
Ro
