题目: Adversity
ADVERSITY

Aren’t we sometimes
left trembling from storms?
if we wait
silent
listening
for faith
peace returns.

题目: Untitled
The storm descends
overpowering uprooting
but in its aftermath
I am peaceful
I hear a birdsong

a psalm.

题目: A Tribute to Friendship
I came across this poem today, and it made me think of a particular person. I thought you all might enjoy it. There was no title.


It is my joy in life to find
At every turning of the road
The strong arm of a comrade kind
To help me onward with my load.

And since I have no gold to give,
And love alone must make amends,
My only prayer is, while I live -
God make me worthy of my friends.

- Frank Dempster Sherman

Nice poem--but it is not by you.

In fact, many of us older folks probably had to memorize this poem, or part of it, when we were in school many years ago. I know I did.

题目: Valentine's Day poetry contest
Since the subject is love, does this mean specifically romantic love, or does it include friendship and other types of love?

Dragonheart,

I like "Cherokee Blood (Tsi-tsa-la-gi)". Are you Cherokee, then? :)

O.K., Wanda. Thanks so much for your input. :)

I mentioned before Poetry in Motion. The length is limited to 20 pieces (words or parts of words).

Here are a couple of my past entries:


********************

Remember grandpa
soft-spoken, kind
firm hands

off to work
at ninety
on his bike.

***************

When soft green
spring days come,
forgotten memories of
you return,
shining the sun
on my heart.

Here's a poem I have always liked.

Let me grow lovely,
growing old-
So many fine things do;
Laces, and ivory, and gold,
And silks need not be new;


And there is healing in old trees,
Old streets a glamour hold;
Why may not I, as well as these,
Grow lovely, growing old?


- Karle Wilson Baker (1878-1960)


I know a woman I love and admire who exemplifies this poem. I don't think it is just a matter of physical beauty, but of warmth, character and a positive outlook.

Well poetry.com may be a scam, but I found a valuable tool on their site.

Every day they have a contest, but you can use it as a tool. There are a number of words, and you use some of them to write a poem. Since the poem is limited to only 20 pieces, it's a good way of learning to express a thought in only a few words.

When I discovered and tried it early this year, I had not written any poetry in 20+ years, and I thought that part of me was dead. But in looking at all of the words and trying to pull something meaningful out of it I discovered that that wasn't true after all.

Most of what you may get will be free verse.

(I'm tempted to share some examples of ones I've written. :) )
