I came
Soon afterward
Twas just at the right time
They said, but I knew Father had
It planned
Cinquain
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11
In Christ
I am royalty
Seated in heavenly places
Wearing His righteousness robe
Princess
In my Eternal Father’s Kingdom
One of heaven’s jewels
Saved by God’s grace
In Christ
Butterfly Cinquain
We shine so bright
His peculiar treasures
Bought by His Son’s sacrifice
Senryu
And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
Malachi 3:17 KJV
Sitting in the heavenlies
Right next to my Savior
Covered from head to toe
With Spiritual Blessings
Enjoying Father God’s presence

In the spring of 1910 a new life was
Born in Sisseton South Dakota,
Just in time to be counted in
The Census taken April fifteen.
Roberts County gains another boy
And I, yet unknown, a future father.
A good man who would love nature,
Poetry, and baseball, a man
I would meet on a summer day in June
1944, when he came home from the war
To spend his time teaching a girl
How to hit home runs, name trees
By their leaves, track animals in
The woods, but not how to forget him.
Sonnet (Un-Rhymed)
In memory of my Dad, Erling Claremont Cliff, (4-4-10—1-1-85)
#NaPoWriMo 2019 Day 4 Prompt: sad, Sonnet
My will must be done
As in heaven, so on the earth
Said Father to Son
This will bring about new birth
And freedom for everyone

#NaPoWriMo–Day 26–Prompt: a challenge to write a poem that incorporates a call and response. Calls-and-responses are used in many sermons and hymns (and also in sea chanties (or shanties)!), in which the preacher or singer asks a question or makes an exclamation, and the audience responds with a specific, pre-determined response. (Think: Can I get an amen?, to which the response is AMEN!.). You might think of the response as a sort of refrain or chorus that comes up repeatedly, while the call can vary slightly each time it is used.
I wrote a Sea Shantie (or Chantie) in which I imagined what a Sunday Service at sea would be like conducted by a fiery Spirit-filled preacher aboard a ship filled with sailors. 🙂
