Dreaming
Of someday
Of brighter tomorrows
In rooms smelling of hyacinths
Surrounded
By sounds
Of angelic host singing sweetly
Around heaven’s great throne
Filled with light
From Him

Sounds
Some sounds delight
Some sounds are soothing
Birdsong awakens
Haiku
I was thinking about sounds this evening and how they affect our lives. Some annoy, interrupt, cause alarm or tears.
Others sooth, delight, cheer or bring laughter.
I wonder how many of us are conscious of the sounds we emit each day and how they might affect others around us.
Something to think about…
Springtime Awakenings
Enjoying the new life
Springing up all around me
Singing and dancing
With the birds and daffodils
Shaking off winter doldrums

Not So Sweet Sounds
Hello Miss Kitty
Dressed in your Christmas pretty
Singing a little ditty
All about the the city
Sounds kinda gritty
What a pity
Rhyme
Prodigal of Praise
In the grocery store
I passed by a cart
Therein sat a wee child
A prodigal of smiles
Contentedly singing
Syllabic Verse
Ceaseless Hope
Commit to always keep going non-stop
Singing a song only your heart knows
Clinging to a belief deep within
That will give your soul the wings to fly
Syllablic Verse
(Based on this poem by Emily Dickinson)
“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,”
–Emily Dickinson
prompt for the day isn’t exactly based in revision, but it’s not exactly not based in revision, either. It also sounds a bit more complicated than it is, so bear with me! First, find a poem in a book or magazine (ideally one you are not familiar with). Use a piece of paper to cover over everything but the last line. Now write a line of your own that completes the thought of that single line you can see, or otherwise responds to it. Now move your piece of paper up to uncover the second-to-last line of your source poem, and write the second line of your new poem to complete/respond to this second-to-last line. Keep going, uncovering and writing, until you get to the first line of your source poem, which you will complete/respond to as the last line of your new poem

Stands erect in the pin spot

Sound in the City
For a handful of humanity
Scattered in the big city
Working hard to reach their goals
The invisible, the unknown
Hearts came together
Dreams came true
Those unheard voices
Tonight

Nonet
Song of the Meadow
Morning Trill
