A breeze did slide in under eaves
and stirred inside the air that grieves,
my children grown my dreams have flown,
alone I sit my rocking throne.
My chair in front of window bare,
I look… but husband’s soul elsewhere.
Beneath my feet the floorboards moan,
alone I sit my rocking throne.
Each day I rock the same tic tock
and change not from my sleeping frock.
Once soft my face now turned a crone,
alone I sit my rocking throne.
The length of cobwebs measure time
they speak no secret sing no rhyme,
but air that’s stirred does tend to drone…
alone, I sit my rocking throne.
I pray to rock myself to sleep
as old-age-chains do rust with weep.
These tears from seeds of sorrows sown,
alone I sit my rocking throne.
The run of beads and crucifix
will not unfix life’s mix of tricks.
A rosary my rope and stone,
alone... I sit my rocking throne.
Of God I beg relief from grief,
unbind my mind from mortal sheaf.
This plea endures like sun bleached bone—
alone I sit my rocking throne.
You are much like the cosmic light
Who set into the flesh of plight
Shining in the world that all see
O Light, be merciful to me
You are much like the blue sky’s heart
Your elect, even when apart
Are the light beams and veins of thee
O Light, be merciful to me
You are much like morning’s birthplace
When you shall leave, due to your grace
Your veins will return home with glee
O Light, be merciful to me
You are much the celestial guide
We love your free children worldwide
For you alone are with the free
O Light, be merciful to me
You are like the golden kingdom
You anoint children with wisdom
As if you are the living tree
O Light, be merciful to me
You are like the celestial torch
The holy flame without a scorch
Lives in all your elect we see
O Light, be merciful to me
You’re like the Khufu ship of light
All who feed your children in plight
Will leave this dark sea as the free
O Light, be merciful to me

Sprucy Lucy watering blooms
As pooch lounges, the kitten grooms
Each sprout peaks out toward the sun
Rising in vibrant hues who’ll stun
Lucy speaks sweetly to the pup
As she watches kitty act up
Picking bright flowers, just for fun
Rising in vibrant hues who’ll stun
Sprucy Lucy loves Summer’s buds
Watering each shoot til’ it floods
Her friends know she can’t be outdone
Rising in vibrant hues who’ll stun
Picture Prompt Four
Memories of sweet October
Finding time with my li'l sister
We surfed on road with time, like race
Light on her face's my saving grace
We travelled on a cobbled road
Uphill, on a garden so broad
We shared our smiles in many ways
Light on her face's my saving grace
We dared the tides and scourge of time
On gusty winds, our feet did rhyme
We laid our hearts on cozy place
Light on her face's my saving grace
On gorgeous city, made of stone
We planned of some mornings to hone
We cherished time on tapered space
Light on her face's my saving grace
When we first met, our love so stark
Would our love sizzle, even spark
Soon a tiny sprinkle implied
Trickling spring bubbled from inside
Beside the lake, when we were young
Our budding love became far-flung
Our love we no longer could hide
Our love's spring bubbled from inside
A young man took a risk in time
Without a reason or a rhyme
The moves you made surely implied
Trickling spring bubbled from inside
Our spring grew into a river
Soon became a child's caregiver
Three children in lifetime we've strive
Still a spring bubbled from inside

To everybody, but especially -
I write this poem for the elderly
who like to wield their awesome pen with might!
Make poetry your legacy and write.
Imagine this: you come upon - one day -
the “gem” of an ancestor passed away.
How thrilling knowing what brought them delight.
Make poetry your legacy and write.
I think that even though change comes with time,
the past still teaches in free verse or rhyme.
Past mistakes might set our future right!
Make poetry your legacy and write.
We’ve much to learn from those who went before.
Words to descendents ought to be the door
that brings so many vital things to light.
Make poetry your legacy and write!

STOP POLLUTING
A
KYRIELLE HYMN
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heed climate warming it's for real!
Not all life can adapt,
symbiotic pairs will, yes keel,
sadly becoming fact!
Stop polluting, recycle, please!
Time is running out we must act,
help nature right our wrongs!
Simple things like recycle that,
sweet smelling or it pongs
Stop polluting, recycle, please!
Mother nature still begging help.
Seasons fickle, forlorn.
Yes, she can see us suffer, yelp!
Begging is not her norm.
Stop polluting, recycle, please!

~Stay Focus On The Lord~
(Kyrielle)
Stay focus till you reach your goal
Take it slow and watch for your soul
Don't rush and you will be just fine
And know that with Gods help you'll shine.
As you do this you'll start to climb
Make beautiful music and rhyme
Rest assured that things will align
And know that with Gods help you'll shine.
Stay focus with your heart and mind
Do your part remember Gods kind
And he has your heart in a shrine
And know that with Gods help you'll shine.

So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV)
-“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16 (NIV)
- Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer
Romans 12: 12 ( NIV )
-The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”
Exodus 14: 13 ( NIV )
~Author's Notes:
The " Kyrielle " is a French poetry form or style.
The grace of God is free, it's true
But cost our LORD'S great sacrifice,
A ransom paid for me and you
For no human good could suffice.
The grace of God is free, it's true
But we need true repentant hearts,
Clean vessels for grace to flow through
And contain the Love He imparts.
The grace of God is free, it's true
But true faith shows in obedience,
Our love's proven by what we do
If we really have God's Presence.
The grace of God is free, it's true,
It can't be a license to sin,
The Word guides us this whole life through
Those who obey enter heaven.

A kyrielle is made of quatrains that rhyme. Each stanza (that is a quatrain)
has a line that repeats, so a line from a previous stanza. That line usually (but does not necessarily have to) be the last line in the stanza.
Each line in the poem has eight syllables. There is no limit to the number of stanzas. Usually there are three or more stanzas. Any type of rhyme scheme can be used.
On a winter or fall’s eve, dark and deep,
snuggled in my bed, I’ll be fast asleep,
but online (if Sandman acts unkindly);
there is where most likely you will find me!
In spring or summer, I’ll be having fun
just sitting with my pen beneath the sun
on my patio writing poetry.
There is where most likely you will find me.
Each Friday to a movie house I go
in early afternoon to see a show.
Because I revel in good fantasy,
there is where most likely you will find me.
If I’m not at work or shopping, it’s a time
I can relax or lose myself in rhyme.
In my home with hubbie, feeling comfy,
there is where most likely you will find me!

When anger plagues the heart it seems
The words we say hurt so much more.
Tempers may fly, break at the seams,
As we try to even the score.
When anger plagues the heart it seems
We forget the good times we had.
We dump the joys, the hopes, and dreams,
And just magnify all the bad.
When anger plagues the heart it seems
We tend to inflict useless pain.
But after the fight, some light beams
Just like the sun shines after rain.

Reading a poem feeds the mind,
Touches the heart with what it says,
Wisdom, delight, there I find
But the pictures get in the way.
Vivid lines paint good images,
They take me places any day.
Poems are lovely, way down the page-
But the pictures get in the way.
Good poems can stand well on their own
With one or two pictures, okay.
Too much may make its merit drown
'Cause the pictures get in the way.

Just look around you and see how
Nature every day to God bow
Angeles then gather just singing
All in Heaven is rejoicing.
Then just see the most peaceful light
When the sun rises high at dawn bright
In all its beauty sky shining
All in Heaven is rejoicing.
God then just blesses inside my soul
And makes me feel when in trouble whole
He sets all my heart on fire dancing
All in Heaven is rejoicing.

The fiercest storms will test the strength
Of all that breathes, lives in nature,
The raging blows measure at length
If roots could grip and stay secure.
In life the seasons bring us storms
That test our wills to stand, endure-
Hard blows expose in human form
If roots could grip and stay secure.
All men like trees stand breathing life
Can't chose tests but face the future,
That come like storms, we see through strife
If roots could grip and stay secure.
