Often those worries and negative thoughts rise as I open my morning eyes. Embracing thoughts of God and faith thwart a troubled mind.

MORNING RITUAL I shake off thoughts, as I awaken, replaced by cocoa beans and faith. Remembering, I’m not forsaken, I shake off thoughts, as I awaken. Open the book, it’s true — I’m shaken. The Spirit stirs what GOOD WORD saith. I shake off thoughts as I awaken, Replaced by cocoa beans and faith. 12/16/2017 Morning Ritual Poetry Contest/Line Gauthier

Why should you sit, stall and then pout; Pick out subject and write poem about; Words are flowing, And number growing; A success you will be without a doubt.

Awesome use of triolet form to tell your ritual. I surprised myself. Sat down and wrote mine as a limerick in under two minutes!! Not much to tell, that's why. It's not posted yet and not as good as yours!!
