So if you do an image search for poetry you find a lot of flowers and hearts - blah! I try to spring ahead of National Poetry Month with hosting a poetry party the last weekend in March. This year I didn't have much planning to do as a friend who'd attended in the past thought of what we could do (make poems from Speed Scrabble words!) I am going to be pitching a wall hanging of an older piece titled "A Home Blessing" written in verse - so before I do I thought I'd document it in honor of the joy poetry brings.
God's blessing rest upon this home
And all who dwell within;
May all who enter, too, be blessed,
Traveler, friend or kin.
Enrich this home with happiness,
Good fellowship, and cheer;
The comfort of His Presence rest
On all who sojourn here.
-- Now, to make a writing exercise out of this lovely work...try forming a poem that sounds old fashioned. Doesn't that sound like fun?
