Notes About The Poem

This poem was inspired by the new form of poem introduced in the contest and another contest with a theme, Noah's Ark.

Noah's Ark

In the beginning of the world After creation has been told Noah’s story became unfold Precious as gold, precious as gold God told Noah to build an ark Since people sinned and chose the dark This earth be washed leaving no mark As rain will park, as rain will park He went in with his family Got animals in pairs only Birds by twos- obeying gladly Saved lovingly, saved lovingly Flood rose higher than the mountain Far beyond hundred days when drained Out of the ark, they ain't in vain New life again, new life again
June 17, 8.55pm Form: Monotetra (This is also a try of a new form)

Good message re-told Leonora, it challenges the mind how all this happened..And yet all we see feel and touch will to us be here one day no more...' So all we have to lose is already spoken for; that's how it presents itself to me ..'

And so it was Leonora, I believe that a large boat or ship remains were discovered on the mountain of Arrarat in present day Turkey, quite interesting don't you think...? I have enjoyed the read just now..'

Hi Leo, stopping by to say hi, and see how you are doing, I've been busy at work and so on. I have my daughter helping me with my contest right now. lol, I'm so busy I haven't had time grading any contest. It is so hot down here, I'm thinking of closing my restaurant in the morning, and opening in the evening at 6pm till 9 am the next day. lol, what do you think? The heat and a kitchen with a grill and other heating elements don't mix. I'll be back later to see if you post a new poem. luv~PD
