National Poetry Month--Day 25--Diatelle Poems--To the Temple

 

So  this is a difficult poem to write called a Diatelle. If you want to learn how to do one of these, go here. Mine is below:

TO THE TEMPLE

Home

God's space

Father's place

Eternal peace

Serving the human race

A delightful spiritu'l feast

I spend one happy day a week at least

To the Temple with anticipation I roam 

Letting go of world's problems--such release

Helping Grandma, Uncle, and Niece

I go before God's face

Blessings increase

Lineage trace

God's grace

Womb

National Poetry Month--Day Funf--Pensee Poem--

 

We're doing Pensee Poems today. If you want to know what those are, go here. If you think you'll just wing it, here's mine plus another:

 Stuffed Brain

Words, images

Crowd my head so tightly they

Must now decide; arms up or down?

Japanese train stuffer

 Words and images

Crowding my head,

Crushing toes

Elbows to ribs

Pushing, 

Shoving to be OUT

Baby ideas screaming

They require

A Japanese train stuffer

To decide whether arms go 

Up or down?
