Nette Onclaud Poet Free verse

Bestowing Kindness

Simple treasures enshrine the heart
bestowing a glee pure with delight;
goodies wrapped in foil thrill the orphans
on a breezy night, sweet lyrics glow…
Merry the friendship when long talks bind
enchanting hours of sweet reveries,
as cheers are shared with honeyed tea
while neighbors join to say hello…

We flock ‘round Grandma’s homemade pies
Then offer tidings for everyone;
beneath a pine’s star glazed by joy
with gift of thanks for blessings’ grace…
Along the blue of bluest night
prayers spill for world unity
when gratitude finds the loving,
the yearning of tender spirits
a promise where kindness resides.

Mark Peterson December 5, 2014 at 10:57 AM This is a difficult balance you've achieved, i.e., a title that summons expectations of just another ordinary rhyme that then proceeds to demolish the notion. Well and carefully expressed. I spent a few pleasant moments here in only half-recalled memories of my own.

Monterey Sirak December 4, 2014 at 8:28 AM Oh, the simple treasures in life; friends, family, love, and reading your poetry.

Andrea Dietrich December 3, 2014 at 3:59 PM very nostalgic and sweet, Nette. For some reason, the way it is formatted, I think, I was almost thinking it was a rhymed poem!
