Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser Poet Abecedarian

Notes About The Poem

Inspired by the Psalms 34:1-4:

I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul will make its boast in the LORD; The humble will hear it and rejoice. O magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.I sought the LORD, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears....

My Spirit Sings

MY SPIRIT SINGS

Almond eyes speak: "Take me home please--
bonnie green fields where I may wander,
chasing butterflies and darting dragonflies
dearly gazing to blue and orange streak skies.
Everyday, I will find some daffodils
fixing and tucking one to my ear,
grin painted on my face as I look
hungrily to praise and thank you, God!
Interred two years ago by mistake,
justice and joy, I yearn to feel,
kneeling everyday, praying unto God:
"Listen to me O tender God and don't leave"
Merciful Father heard, He blessed me saying:
"Now Son, be fruitful and multiply", I amble--
obedient me to sunny walks down  winding roads,
persistent to bear the given loads,
quicker to maneuver from danger's path,
reflexive instincts working double time!
Seeking God's wisdom to always guide me,
taking time to read the Bible everyday,
understanding: "Man shall not live on bread alone...
Vexed and pressed  by  a  truckload  of  trials but
whom shall I fear when God is my light and salvation.
Xenacious I, excited, wanting to do it in an instant!
Yes Lord! Yes Lord! Yes! Yes, Lord, Amen. 
Zealous is my heart and spirit as I sing!

Gary Bateman July 8, 2015 at 11:34 AM Olive-Eloisa!! This is a most positive and wonderful write. The "abecedarian" format worked very well with this particular write. A "7" + FAV!! Could you tell me please, where did you find the word "xenacious" at?? It sounds like a quite rare word. Being a linguist who is adept in several languages, I have a rather large vocabulary of words, but I've not yet run into this word. I have a number of linguistic rare word book, but I can't find this word. (I'm just interested!) Cheers and Best, Gary Gary Bateman July 10, 2015 at 3:28 PM I think what you're doing Olive is truly grand and wonderful. Keep doing all the great stuff you're doing with your poetry. I enjoy your writes very much!! Have a great weekend Amiga!! Best Wishes, Gary Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser July 9, 2015 at 12:38 AM Most of the words I use in my poems, I try to make it rare and different as possible...
