Lithuanian Sculpture Prompt

Mary With Arms Crossed

"I'm not worthy!"
Cried she...
Rapunzel with her hair 
so fair that reached 
down to the floor.
Her arms wrapped tightly
around Mary,
Mother of our Lord.
Her arms were crossed
in front of her
protecting her heart.
Demurely covered
a face worn and gaunt
from seeing her son
die so cruelly and unjustly 
on the cross that day.

It was interesting to hear how this writing prompt was interpreted by each of us in the writing group.  We all picked up on a similar theme especially being that we are nearing Good Friday next week. 

What's comfort?

simple pleasures

simple pleasures
remind me of scents
favorite and comforting
fragrance of lavendar
sprayed on my pillow
a dryer sheet
fresh out of a dryer
smell of fresh-baked bread
driving by a bread company
the tang of a freshly ripped
apart tangerine
the aroma of hot chocolate
on a cool winter's evening
while curled up around a book

I met with my writing group this past weekend and this is one of the poems I wrote based on the writing prompt of "simple pleasures."  It's interesting listening to the different writings of the writers in my group.  Each has his/her own literary style. 

Cinderella meets a fella...

Forbidden Fruit

Submerge Yourself!

Poetry in Motion...

Smooth Sailing

 

Sometimes 
don't you wonder 
why life isn't 
just smooth sailing?
Without stormy gales
and constant waves 
that ebb and flow?
Why not gentle waves
that tickle our feet
instead?



Just a quick poem because life does throw unexpected twists and turns our way.
