Notes About The Poem
Writing poetry is not easy..It is a very challenging past time if one tries to do forms and follow some terminology..

Morning Wind

Morning wind tickled with whisper
Willows thin limbs and ancient brow.
Many days winds' chill was crisper,
Forgetful of when; can't think now

Life at times was richer, draw blank
Of those events right at this time.
Richness seems to come with each rank
Of age increase, now don't need mime

Mime one who has more worldliness.
No! Let my mime be Jesus Christ.
Let me become like him actless
Let the Spirit draw me entice

* Trying to do Tetrameter

The wind will blow the rain and snow. The church stands still in rightous glow. As time goes on to change it's mind. The church doors open to all mankind.

Exquisite imagery of the wind "whispering" through the willows, Sara. I think we learn to deal with life's challenges better as we get older, but faith is essential to carrying us through these times. (I know nothing about tetrameter, but I love your poem, especially the last verse.) Best wishes in Deb's contest. Love, Carolyn

You capture with your poetic prowess Mrs. Sandra. I love that last stanza as it exemplifies what we should all yearn and strive for. I must say, I always find myself at a loss when I try to get my meter down right, so kudos for keeping an eye on it :)
