“Well-timed
silence
hath more
eloquence
than speech.”

Elfje: (Cinquain) classic: each word only one syllable

calm
no noise
a soft hush
a place to sit
still

Lune: 5 / 3 / 5

God speaks in silence
meditate
listen to His word

Poem:
.
another lost moment in time
my ego became misplaced in the rhyme
a pregnant pause is not a well timed silence
wise are those who use God for guidance
why worry, most things forgotten don’t matter
if necessary God will put it on your platter
remember to sort your wants from your needs
even mustard comes from the smallest seeds
time spent wisely is usually with others
problems solved by a band of brothers
most important is to show up when promised
usually remembered when one is honest
today, take the time to do something nice
always done when following your own advice

Poem
It started out with kisses
quickly escalated to an altercation
toe to toe
face to face
the screaming
the yelling
inferences to the animal donkey
naming family who resembled the monkey
I can’t remember who threw the vase
if only I hadn’t said
kiss my ass
ME and the Boss
