Do you like me,
My mind, my thoughts inside?
Respect me
Internally,
Or the shell which I reside?
I’m more than that.

Depending Where You Are
Viewpoints can vary
Tis not my place to judge
Two different views
From inside looking out
Or outside looking in

Inner Reflection
Kindness, a treasure
That’s outwardly visable,
Comes from within
Senryu
Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness. —George Sand
Fragile
Boxes
All shapes
And all sizes
Like people
They hold things inside
Secrets, treasures, dreams
Or maybe unwanted things like
Bitterness, unforgiveness
Handle all boxes with care because
They can be damaged inside and out

Inside and Out
Emotions stir inside of me
Thoughts rushing in like a hurricane
Cripple my mind causing great pain
Cold feet numb, desire to flee
Would I not gotten so intense
Spoke out loud the things inside
Revealed hurts instead of hide
Tried to reason with offense
But nay, I kept it trapped within
Tongue lies silent in its tomb
Nerves on edge await their doom
I need new life to begin
God reveal to me what to do
No one knows me better than You
Sonnet (English)
#OctPoWriMo Day 26
What is inside you (thoughts, feelings etc) that should be out to the world, but aren’t? Do you have anything inside you that is out, but that you didn’t want to be? Or maybe you are relieved that these ‘inside’ feelings are finally ‘out’?
Suggested forms: Sonnet
Word prompts
open, secret, introspective, reveal, discover
Point of View
Plans are often made
From the inside looking out
Or from the outside
As someone’s looking in
What is it you see?
Two different perspectives
Are presented
In a vista from within
Or an angle from without
Choka
Souls of Humanity
Circles
All different
Yet all are the same
Outside, what differs is what’s
Inside

Sunday Service At Sea
#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. 🙂
