For The POET By DAY ~ Wednesday Writing Prompt ~ Joy Beauty and Death , Some Questions ...

Image
A Thing of Beauty Is A Joy Forever John Keats I Beauty is joyful Is Joy only in nature ? flowers reflect love, Love makes us joyous True love is rare, never found Beauty? Ever present If you look around Truth makes the world happier Then hate is drowned.

My heart with fear trembling cannot for a moment be calm and still hearing shattered glass and bullets shrill Another blast another attack- screams cries blood spilling why death is brutal and erlking

'Allow your mind to open to this moment and your arms to rise as they lift the palpable blue\ English Poet Myra Schneider      The sky is never engaged in  battle,   not does it itself cause a rattle,blue   for visions, dark for secrets     The sky is never engaged but shines in grey and gold the angry  enraged clouds  make it overcast and cold  The sky is never engaged in war nor bombs it hurls, but sprinkles the darkness with stars and shiny pearls.

For dVerse ~ Poets Pub ~ Shed Some Light On This Today ~

Image
The prompt for today: write a poem (any form; rhyming or not) that includes the word “shed” or a form of the word. I expect to see lots of diversity in the posts for today. Shed your inhibitions and let your imaginations run with it! my spirit feels light after shedding tears that were bringing fears, thoughts of  one unwell and suffering, how long can one remain in a dull damp shed,  head down, waiting hoping praying  Come Come Come' the sun has shed off its covering the clouds are sailing away revealing the bright light come let us shed our burdens be grateful and be light let freedom ring in let people have the right for enough blood has been shed enough land has become red  enough children and soldiers dead so let the spirit be free  and the soul be light let darkness shed the pall let there be pure and true light
