OURS IS....

UPWARD

When I'm tired of life

and feeling so low...

I look upward

When happiness surrounds

my heart and soul...

I look upward

I raise my hands

and sing in praise

for I know I am

in His loving grace

When my weakness shows

from all of life's woes...

I look upward

When my end is here

I'll have no fear...

I'll look upward

I raise my hands

and sing in praise

for I know I am

in His loving grace

25. Write a poem where a literary figure shows up and tells you something and gives you something.
OURS IS....

Shakespeare came to me in a dream

holding the secrets I've longed to know

he told me it is easier than it seems

then with painted words he did show

He spoke in riddles yet I could see

the gifts he was trying to bestow

and before too long it came to me

that it is all how the words flow

He felt he'd done what he came to do

and he began to fade in a mist

and though the dream was all through

there still was a bit of a twist

seems as I dreamt I wrote it down

yet I'd never done that before

my writing sure made my husband frown

for it was written on my kitchen floor !!

Tee hee hee... I wish !!

NaPoWriMo: 30 NEW Writing Prompts for National Poetry Month 2011

24. Write a poem that has the word “love” hidden in it somewhere. But you cannot use the word “love” by itself, it must be hidden (such as in the word “glove” or in two words like “halo venom”).

OURS IS...

STRANGELOVE

Seeing the paloverde

we had to pullover

it was in the clover

with foxglove near a pond

slovenliness with beauty

and as the killdeer plover sang

we knew we found strangelove

our happiness did spillover
