Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Joy, Hope and Kindness

Joy, hope and kindness – let them reign!
Like the proverbial bluebird
of happiness, whose sweet refrain
of joy bursts forth, let it be heard!

With hope we’ll find the bluest sky.
Joy, hope and kindness – let them reign.
Hope is the lovely butterfly
that we see again and again.

Hope cannot be allowed to wane.
With joy’s bluebird, she leads the way.
Joy, hope and kindness – let them reign
and guide us to a brighter day.

Show forth your kindness with love,
so like the Son, you can attain
light like from His heaven above.
Joy, hope and kindness – let them reign!

Robert Warlov February 23, 2022 at 4:02 AM Proving again, mastery of the form. Bright spirit's contagion. Here it is: "shed abroad on our hearts". Who can resist: Joy's square magnified!

William Kelii Kekaula February 6, 2022 at 8:24 AM Tho' posted as 'Rhyme', methinks Janice is spot on, anyhow, love the rhyming, particularly, the opening stanza. 'Twas a bit unclear for me what Angela was looking for as per scored prize categorized specifically listed the three as being separate and as such, I vied for the gold being joy, nonetheless, enjoyed your piece and here's to hoping the best my friend, Aloha! William Kelii Kekaula February 6, 2022 at 9:45 PM Yes, with eyes wide open, the literal post exists, however, the reiteration (doubly so) is indicative of a tri-factor entry but open to a singularity specifying 'uplifting' being the driving force, my thanks, Andrea--you're a true friend indeed, ALOHA! Andrea Dietrich February 6, 2022 at 10:22 AM i will have to recheck that contest, but I am assuming we needed to submit as rhyme? I did check again and did not see her asking us to write about only one of the three traits. Andrea Dietrich February 6, 2022 at 9:52 AM yes, it's quatern. but to enter rhyming contests, we are forced to use title Rhyme for all rhyming forms in order to enter them into the contest because judges set up the entries in a way that all the rhymed forms can't be entered unless you label them as rhyme!! It's weird.

Janice Canerdy February 5, 2022 at 5:45 AM Beautiful, inspirational piece, Andrea. A quatern--right? Janice

Connie Marcum Wong February 5, 2022 at 5:11 AM You are a whirlwind Andrea. I don’t know how you keep up entering so many contests and work too. We all need hope right now which has us counting on faith to see us through. A lovely poem about spreading the much needed kindness. Blessings xxoo Andrea Dietrich February 6, 2022 at 10:42 AM thanks, dear friend. I just set my priorities and Soup is one of them. Even Netflix and FB on my list of priorities. Joe wishes he were more at the top constantly. haha
