Sue Vincent Thursday Photo Prompt: Reaching #writephoto – Use the image below as inspiration to create a post on your own blog… poetry, prose, humour… light or dark, whatever you choose.
I remember the days of
a long time ago before
the world became so busy
living in the chaos of noise
back when people were content
reaching for the simplicity of
the matinal Light filling
their souls with a feeling of sacredness
and a desire to bring that sacredness
to others that they may know
an awakening of abundant
beauty of stillness in tranquility
generosity of heart towards
others who ached in brokenness…
Yes, I miss those days and
I pray that those of us whose
souls are filled in spiritual sacredness
will keep reaching to fill the
lost and empty souls wrenching
in desperation to be love and accepted
not by the world, but in the Beloved.

MLMM Tale Weaver #237 – Weeds – This week consider the notion of weeds as your topic to write about. What does it mean to you? The unwanted plants that grow in your garden? The irritating people in your life? Something others consider a pest but you think otherwise. Go where the prompt leads you.
Maria Antonia Weekly 2019 Photography Challenge – Come join me, each Saturday, in posting a photo. There is a list of the prompts to help inspire us. The order of the photos won’t matter. In other words, you don’t have to start at the top and move toward the end. For this challenge, you may pick any prompt on the list and start with that. MY CHOICE OF PROMPT: HIDDEN.
hidden are the weeds
that choke a living beauty
evil intentions
are working undercover
surprising its next victim
yet…beauty always triumphs

An Invitation To Faith – Choka Poem
The Choka (長歌 long poem) is:
- a narrative.
- syllabic. Composed of any number of couplets made up of alternating 5-7 onji (sound syllables) per line. In English we can only treat the onji as a syllable.
- unrhymed.
- concluded by a hanka, an envoy in the form of the waka, 31 onji or sound syllables in 5 lines with 5-7-5-7-7. “han” meaning repetition, the hanka is to summarize the Choka. The word tanka is often substituted for hanka or waka (they are all rooted in the same 31 syllable, 5 line form, their root seems to make them interchangeable with only subtle differences to separate them.) Poetry Magnum Opus.

MLMM Sunday Writing Prompt – Train Ticket – For today’s prompt you are going on a train ride. Choose either the journey itself as your focus (a classic mystery/crime drama to solve for example) or the destination. The train need not be of this reality and therefore it can take you anywhere including the after life! As to how you came by the train ticket that too can have mysterious origins.
train ticket arrives
from whence it came is unknown
intrigued to accept
ride is pre-reserved
date and time already booked
today, time is now
*
anxiously I hesitate
remember to breathe
destination is unknown
note with ticket says
board with faith don’t ask questions
again I pause, breathe
then step aboard waiting train
fear, not an option
train unseen by human eyes
*
unscabbed eyes awake
a new understanding dawns
solid foundation
that grew from a mustard seed
believing without seeing
