Janice Canerdy Poet Rhyme

People Do Change

When backslidden Christians repent and are back firmly in the fold,
some believers rejoice with them, while doubters cast looks haughty and cold.
God, please remind them that anyone, through YOU, can break evil's hold.

Andrea Dietrich May 28, 2018 at 5:24 PM A very nicely penned religious sijo, Janice. I sure am enjoying the sijo I am seeing around here today. Janice Canerdy May 28, 2018 at 5:30 PM Thanks so much, Andrea. When I tried to be more creative, I ended up with too many syllables and, therefore, NOT a sijo! Janice

Honestly J.T. May 27, 2018 at 11:01 PM I can admit to that struggle; good poem -JT Janice Canerdy May 28, 2018 at 7:46 AM Thanks so much, Honestly! When I feel judgmental thoughts rising in me, I remind myself that I don't want to be remembered for MY worst actions and words. Have a great Memorial Day. Janice
