Hey there everyone.

I’m participating in NaPoWriMo 2020, if you aren’t following the NaPoWriMo website already then go check it out at www.napowrimo.net.

For today’s poem, I have selected someone who is a huge influence on my poetry and who I have been compared to as well.

My guest for today is Jane Austen and you can find the poem I used for my inspiration below.

Read “When Winchester Races” by Jane Austen over at The UK Jane Austen Centre

Finally, here is my own inspirational found poem, thank you for reading and good luck with all of your NaPoWriMo adventures throughout this month!

“Spring Made From Ruins” by David Ellis

When beginning
Good people, applying all
Fixed and determined, charming
Saw future informed, of these doings
Made Spring, from ruins
When we think we are gone
You shall meet your course
Rain cannot triumph
Shift your will
Be dry in showers
