Morning Dawn

Sedoka... 5-7-7-5-7-7
 
morning marinate 
merge  in lost meditation
losing all irritation
absorb, marinate 
line up on new principle
marinate in new precept

of morning session
evaluate marinate
accept life’s renewed menu
bind the old concept
leave concepts of strife behind
enter dawn of a new day

as in eagle’s flight
I have mitigated wings 
unlimited potential
power essential
infinite infinity
I advance in destiny
===========
In Honor of Nette
And contest: In 24 hours

Joyce Johnson Date: 10/9/2011 11:48:00 AM Thank you John for your nice comments. I am not able to enter your contest at this time. I usually enjoy the limerick style but I have been going through the trial of my brother's terminal illness and his death yesterday so can find no hilarity to write about. Next time.
