“If the only
prayer you said
was ‘thank you,’
that would be
enough.”
.
~ Meister Eckhart
.
Elfje: (Cinquain)
.
prayer
a thought
asking for guidance
listening for the answer
meditation
.
Senryu: 5-7-5 ( Haiku with people and their emotions/feelings as a topic)
.
sadness turned to joy
negative to positive
anger turned to love
.
Poem:
.
he thought what he felt was a feeling
but the alcohol always kept him reeling
looking forward he saw only the ceiling
his reality was never truly appealing
near death made him change his ways
time allowed him to see through the haze
his body recovered from the sick malaise
to a Higher Power he gives the praise
it became a slew of feelings that he felt
his roller coaster emotions needed a seat belt
his cold stone heart had begun to melt
a new hand of cards he had been dealt
a new friend and then more friends
a fellowship that taught him to make amends
how the wreckage of the past to cleanse
and the twelve steps that paid big dividends
today his feelings are a joy to explore
emotions that are allowed to soar
a life that has been his to restore
peace, serenity and so much more

“How weightless
words are
when nothing
will do.”

sorry
my mistake
doesn’t cut it
learn to make amends
repentant
.
Haiku: (7-5-7 VARIATION)
.
tropical storms wreak havoc
too much water floods
man builds in the low area
.
Poem:
.
words fail too many romantics
they worry too much about semantics
forget the talk, don’t tell me
let your actions and heart be free
show me that it’s not all about you
love is not about what you think is due
a two way street is an agreeable compromise
love is never about the value of the prize
love is a feeling that transcends thinking
mutual consent where everyone is winning
above race, beyond religion, unconditional
love and marriage are something traditional
love, forget the words, they are not needed
love is when the heart has truly conceded
