The following poem was chosen as one of the weekly blooms at Creative Blooms in the CINQKI form:
Breezes
brush winter’s
cobwebs into
skeins of spun memories
new thread
My other cinqkis were:
Wednesday
Clients call
Eye-catching fashion
Mysteries mined ‘til clear
Hump day
***
Uh oh
Chocolate
Bunny bumps jar
Rolls out as candy egg
Easter
Prompt: "Back to Square One: To use 3 lines from an old poem to rewrite a new poem. I rewrote one of Jolene's poems which I published here years ago. As I wrote it, it reminded me of the promise in Isaiah about turning ashes into beauty. Then I read my first-ever published book, Romanian Rhapsody, for the first time ever since publication, (more on that on Thursday). In it, I refer to the same verse. God was shouting, pay attention!
In dire need she called out to You
Her life, like ashes in the wind,
Blown away where none could see
Leaving behind a hole that could be filled
No laborers to refill the emptied soul
No miracle-workers to resurrect the ashes
No master artist to restore the original design
Until. . .
You answered
The One who walked on water stilled her raging sea.
Filled her with joy and dressed her with praise
Crafted a crown from ashes
Centerpiece of Your grace
Kiss and Tell?
Can’t
kiss and tell
If
I yell, your
lips
fell on mine
To Spring:
April
showers
May
flowers bring
To
spur spring’s joy
Prompt: Connection between color and emotionsMy World is Blue
In winter-time, earth and sky lend ice
Not
enough hours to entice
Blue
when weather’s vice
Gives
white prize
Chill
Equinox
pours blue to each day’s slice
Teasing
us with spring’s advice
Sky
and field, so nice
So
precise
Skill
Heaven
is gold with rainbow’s allspice
Azures,
sapphires, beyond price
Only
sacrifice
Paradise
‘Til
