The Thrill of a Pen In My Hand

My first poem here was about a pen that was indeed a lot of years ago so many poetic memories that bring in my rhyming scheme, many words flow I've written some acrostic pieces but really rhyming is my game received such faithful encouragement to aid me as honouring God is my aim Having met some wonderful dear friends here in the days here Curtis, Jennifer, Brenda and Jo these fab people kept spurring me to write on as well as many others too many to mention so The thrill of a pen in my hand this spurs me on to write whatever thoughts come to mind thanking God for His glorious light (some thoughts looking back on my time here on PS)

- A wonderful poem, Gordon :) - I find it difficult to rhyme in English ... but, easily in my native language :) - (Many great friendships we get through the "soup" ... the world is not so big ... in our technological time :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Thanks, Anne-Lise, Glad you loved it and interesting that you can rhyme in Norwegian and not English! I know people that have a stammer like myself if they learn a new language for the first few months speaking it they are fluent! Have a blessed weekend, Hugs and blessings, Gordon

Gordon,I am mostly a rhyme poet too. I will wake up in the middle of the night and write a thought down. Nice to meet someone who feels the same. Keep writing. This poem is special. judi
