Word For The Day…

From Gratefulness.org

As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn’t leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I’d still be in prison.

NELSON MANDELA

Thawed By Love – Chained Hay(na)ku

Hay(na)ku is a 3-line poem with one word in the first line, two words in the second, and three in the third. There are no restrictions beyond this.  There are already some variations of this new poetic form. For instance, a reverse Hay(na)ku has lines of three, two, and one word(s) for lines one, two, and three respectively. Also, multiple Hay(na)ku can be chained together to form longer poems.  Writer’s Digest

Wading In The Water

dVerse ~ Poet’s Pub – Pubtalk – on the subject of resting

Or if you want to share a poem about rest that talks to you.

From the threshold of nature

healing waters beckon this body

“Come in and wade, I will nurture

the pain and aches that ail”

setting them free to sail

into the oceans depths

so the soul and the body

together as one may know

rest as their new destiny
