Submitted this for Saturday Shorts over at the Flexwriter's Cafe.
I was inspired by the photo below...




Yesterday's prayers wither like the hours
The hands fading out the crescendo of hope -
a young girl playing dress up,
first day of school - seeds in soil
Today is new,
but it is stiff and numb

Caught in the grit of January
and sorely wanting April.

Pharaoh with the Vicious Tongue

 
This is a nice short piece Poeta what I like about it is how U show change or newness can put our minds N lock up like N your line, " Today is new, but it is stiff and numb." And U know when the cold grip of old man winter is here N January I can't wait till April.

Short pieces are my favorite.

This was great!!  I loved the way this one began....immediately painting a an impossible picture...."prayers withering".....but oh who lovely to imagine prayers withering......

....and your last stanza was genius.....

I sit here with great satisfaction.....(Big Grin)....

You have this beautiful way of fusing youth curiosity with mature outlooks.  This is just stunning.  Straight to the point.  Wow.
