Three Randomling Poems

A Sunrise Randomling The sky lightens, as in His Presence, I stand and watch the morning unfold its colors, while the breath of God Inflates a large, luminous orange balloon. --------------------------------------- Randomling: A Stalker Fear gripped me! I turned my head to look and see who it was following me. Who are you?" I quivered. "Go away! Don't hurt me!" Behind my back, my shadow laughed. ------------------------------- Randomling: Relationships IF broken in places IF needing repair IF the stubborn boulder won't budge IF love has dried up like a rocky stream. Start digging. Then shovel deeper Find a well Overflowing love. .

I was so encouraged and uplifted by your comments, Andrea! Thank you. So happy that you liked them. And for the 7. I have learned judges have their own prejudices and preferences, etc. But I'll hope for the best. I have been placing low or HM's in recent contests. Maybe, just maybe this one... Darlene

Good Sunday morning, Eve! Thanks for liking my randomlings. Have your read Mary Rotman's? She has a group of them 1-21 or so on her site. Maybe this will help you. I'm still on unsteady ground myself, as a learner. ~~~Darlene

Hi, Alexis! And it is my pleasure to share with you and others this new type of poems. Thank you for liking mine. By the way, it's called randomlings. Not ramblings. Just think of random thoughts. Yours in poetry, Darlene
