In the depths of January's blustery cold
The poet's life in poems slowly unfolds
A mood of blue is often set
Melancholy seems to be her usual cuddly soft pet
But sometimes the table is quickly turned
Out pours some humor that she learned
Maybe she's bipolar like it's called today
At least a ray of sunshine came her way

We have all gone through it; you are at
the party, the smalltalk has reached the
stage where you want the world to end
and you cannot imagine a polite way of
leaving the sad setting before any of the
guests realise that they’ve ruined the day
Calmly speak the end line 9 words as if it
was a response to a point, it always gets
results. Turn and leave them all in the dark
You don't know me
but you call me
FAT!
I had a love
I had a life
ONCE!
I sense a voice on me descend,
The Holy Spirit alongside me:
O let this moment never end,
Pictured within me!
These thoughts and words now must I sift,
Through this glsass I now darkly see:
Please illume spiritual gifts,
Pictured within me!
Verbal paintings to show You care,
In messages channelled from thee:
Help me participate and share,
Pictures within me!
after George Herbert's quatrain poem 'Grace' with a kyrielle refrain 8/8/8/4 rhyme scheme
