Welcome

This is my playground for poetry written for children with ideas and inspiration for writing your own poems. Come on in. Sit for a spell, have a cup of words to swirl around and make your own cup of poetry. I'm so glad you are here. I hope you'll find the Kingdom of Poetry a fun place to be.

Trust the Starlight

Sometimes
I need
the quiet of starlight
the twinkling of stars
to remind me
how vast and enduring
our universe is
and I am
only one small grain
in our great cosmos.


     This is a free verse poem.  If you look carefully you'll see it is only one sentence long.  Is this a "worthy" poem?  I don't know.  Are the line breaks in the best places? I don't know.  Is this poem "Done"? Probably not.  I'm going to have to sit with this poem a while longer to find out what it wants to be.  But for now I'm willing to share these few words with you because sometimes I think it is good to remember each of us is unique but we are all apart of something much greater than ourselves.  I don't have a poetry challenge for you today except to suggest that poetry is a way to capture your thoughts and share them with others.  Have a great day thinking.

    1. Carol,
      This is getting interesting. I collect Bibles as well as dictionaries. I could have picked any one of a dozen to read Psalm 8 from, but the book I picked was THE WOMAN'S DEVOTIONAL BIBLE, and now I learn that you are published with devotions in this book. I love learning that about you.
      Blessings, dear friend.

      It must have been something in the cosmos, several of the other Poetry Friday poems were about moonlight.
