Beata Agustin Poet Blank verse

Throw-Back Bliss

Family bonding times decades ago
Can never be buried in oblivion
Since they can be fully resurrected
Via uploaded delightful pictures 
With hashtags, “joyous reminiscences.”
 
Here am I succumbing to “throw-back” bliss
Of our home’s mirth with Dad, Mom and siblings
Warmed by love's glow in praying together
While feasting on God’s blessings midst trials 
Thanking Him for peace, faith, mercy and grace!*

*2John 1:3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

Caren Krutsinger September 28, 2018 at 3:35 AM I did not know what blank verse was, and I still do not, but I know what heart is, and this poem has heart in a giant way! A refreshing way to end my night/morning. Beata Agustin October 1, 2018 at 7:24 AM Praise God. Thanks for your comments. As for the meaning of blank verse, this is Poetry Soup's definition, "A type of poetry, distinguished by having a regular meter, but no rhyme. In English, the meter most commonly used with blank verse has been iambic pentameter. Blank verse, however, is not the same as free verse because it employs a meter." God bless you!
