Five Letter Words

Noble Souls Noble souls arise, build steps, forge roads, carry tough loads, scale peaks, quell fears, dream stars which blaze, clear those black skies. These souls would tears erase. Noble souls offer cheer, avoid wrath crush their pride, prove their worth, value earth, speak sober words, shape lives, plant hope’s seeds, serve other folks’ basic needs. Noble souls rally, never crawl, never stall. Their adept hands nurse other souls’ awful aches. Sweet roses adorn their loved angel faces. Noble souls exist. A poem using only 5-letter words Dec. 21, 2017 for Rhoda Tripp's 'Fem Bogstaver (Danish)' Poetry Contest

Fabulously inspiring...makes one want to "rise and rise" again. ("fall down 7 get up 8 " :) I had "stalled" a bit. This poem made me blush to realize it. Thank you for the inspiration to get back up

I have chosen, these past 24 hours plus, to be a responsible domestic adult and thus I have not played poetry. I just checked out the winners' list where I found such joy to see your first place spot. I am SO HAPPY about that, my cherished Andrea! Love, love, love ... CayCay
