Today wraps up 31 poems in 31 days, or OctPoWriMo. It has been a fun event, getting me back to writing again, and a bit of a challenge, too, as I reckon it should be. It is hard to say how well I’ll do after this month; the holidays and all are upon us and I tend to fall out of the writing-mode. Maybe this year will be different!
Come drink
Living waters
Whosoever desires
Eternal life freely given
By faith
actions
done thoughtlessly
selfishness on display
societal normal today
shameful
Written for day 14 of OctPoWriMo “shameful” using the cinquain form.
This morning I ran across a haiku by Al the Author I really enjoyed. It also happened to be linked to a writing prompt I’ve been meaning to join in on but keep forgetting from The Secret Keeper.
Well, there’s no time like the present (before I forget again!) to toss my poem in the writing-ring:
a gift
a handmade work
or a poetic verse
love is the reason we create
not coin
Unlike Al, I wasn’t able to get all five words in a haiku; kudos to him again for that!
(Written in the Cinquain form.)
endless
circle of life
surrounds us constantly
birth to grave life evaporates
here – gone
Inspired by poetry prompt #6 from Jane Doughtery Writes; compose a Cinquain
