Reason A. Poteet Poet Pleiades

Benediction

Bless the Lord along life’s road.
Bear your neighbor’s heavy load.
Bicker not with blame nor fault.
Blaze the trail with light and salt.
Battle vice with peace and grace.
Bring Christ’s virtue to the race.
Bless the Lord and you’ll be blessed.

Constance La France September 21, 2019 at 8:50 PM Reason, congratulations on your win, short and powerful write ! Reason A. Poteet September 22, 2019 at 2:46 PM thanks, wiishkobe, it is a Pleiades form, there seems to be some disagreement over how many syllables each line (in a Pleiades) should have...I prefer 7 to match with the no. of lines. I've written others with even longer lines...it's all poetry.
