Chapter Seventy Five
Tomorrow, Lord willing, begins
A new
Chapter in
The book of life here on earth
One that has been filled
With great blessings

YESTERDAYS
Years, Tears, and Fears
Evaporated and gone.
Seasons and Reasons in
Time have passed on.
Each moment now spent
Reliving them is pointless.
Days of old are done,
All just memories of the Past.
Yearning won’t bring them back.
Seek today and live!
Acrostic
Life’s Pathway
Deadlines, Challenges
Push us thru our daily life
Dealing with Wants, Needs
Sorting out our prorities
The minutes turn into years
Tanka
Heaven Seeker
Leaves fall like years
Walking down the path of life
Castle in the sky quest

Faithful and True by Jordan Howerton Band (with lyrics)

Mine might be a bit off prompt—but it’s the best I could do as being a forward thinking person I am not good at writing backwards. 🙂

Fifteen
Original Poetry by Leona J. Atkinson ©2015

This is kind of a fun little form. I decided to try this form (that I had never tried before) because upon learning that its name meant “fifteen”, I immediately thought of my grand-daughter who just turned 15 years old, and so, I wanted to write a poem for her 15th birthday card! 🙂
“The English word quinzaine come from the French word qunize, meaning fifteen. A quinzaine is an unrhymed verse of fifteen syllables. These syllables are distributed among three lines so that there are seven syllables in the first line, five in the second line and three in the third line (7/5/3). The first line makes a statement. The next two lines ask a question relating to that statement.”
