[NaPoWriMo–Day 15–Terza rima] [April 2014 PAD Challenge–Day 15]
(My first attempt at writing a Terza rima poem!)
Tenacity
Tomorrow marks one year of my journey in poem writing! It all begin on April 1, 2013 with the NaPoWriMo Challenge of writing a poem a day. After finishing that April 2013 challenge I found I so enjoyed it that just kept writing a poem a day and thus this blog continued on. It has been such a rewarding experience for me! I have learned so much and have met so many interesting,talented people along the way. I feel blessed for the opportunity! I hope to continue on with writing a poem day and plan to join in the April 2014 NaPoWriMo Challenge beginning tomorrow. –Leona

Junk to Jewels
Someone’s castaways
The world’s used and discarded goods
Become my treasures
Recycled into a new life
Of purpose and beauty

A Purpose in Time
A clock’s life demands,
Movement of its hands.
In a circle they must go,
Not too fast, not too slow.

The Spare Room
It’s some better today.
The pain in my heart has not gone way,
but the initial reaction to it all
has fallen away like a leaf in the fall.
All that lies now within my sight,
is a room that is empty,
but cheery and bright.
Void of his things, it sits there,
clean, and willing to be called “spare”.
This room that held him and all he held dear,
is with me still, though he is not near.
It helps that it has a different look,
for when I pass by I don’t see his favorite nook.
New pillows and coverlet are now upon the bed,
and the walls hold my pictures instead.
Traces of him are no longer found in there,
were it not so, it would be too much to bear.
I pray that someday, he will find his way,
and God will show him what to do and say,
To accomplish the purpose that God created him for,
Then the spare room will rejoice, and might hold him once more.
