All you have to do is provide three words....or aphrase if you like
PROVIDED BY MINNIE: moonshine, garlic and paperclip
in the darkness is pinned one's fears
hanging in the moonshine by a single
silver paperclip
frail the mind in the shadows of the night
that fractures the safety and comfort
of that of the day
no crosses, no garlic nor even prayer
can protect one from one's own mind
if the prayer is baseless
call in the middle of the night
to the living God who will stir not
the mind to be unsettled
but with loving heart and comfort care
give you sanctury from all that
you may fear

My love and me
through thick and thin
through sick and sin
no love is lost
as feelings overwhelm
and circumstance wearies me
you are my love
and I am here for you
for my love is deeper
and reaches deep into your heart
and stronger than the cancer
and stronger than the medicine
My love and me
through thick and thin
through sick and sin
your not alone
and two are stronger than one
and three cannot be broken
the chords of love and prayer
through thick and thin
through sick and sin

SPINNING VERTICAL & PARROT.
Words and life keep spinning
life and words keep sinning
like vertigo the walls are moving
the vertical no longer standing still
and Words of life keep repeating
like a parrot trained and caged
no longer free to roam in flight
and visit me upon the window sill
and words of life keep tossing
like standing on the deck of a ship
that succombs to the high seas
that roll and descend upon my deck
as the mind views the distance
to keep from falling over
a life line is sent
as words of life are kept in check

THE VERY NATURE OF GOD
Dipping into the transparent waters so cool
to see the bottom of the rock pool clearly
now I too see the wonders of nature
and a God who loves us dearly
Complex the earths infrastructure
so detailed the bounty's of life
so much to understand His majesty
that longs to keep away the strife.....
How the beauty and magnificent
invigorate my soul
to know that all was planned
and in the book was told.....
the flora and the fauna
men, women and the children
the heavens and the firmanent
all the joys of creation
love embedded in all that was made
a design and a purpose
that we see upon the lands
the God within us all & within the nations.....

CODE OF THE FOREST
Cast your bread upon the waters
at the midnight hour
and let them float down stream
carried by the currents power
and fairies they will gather
the soaken morsels that be
and flip them in their leafen boats
to carry out to sea
careful not to violate
the code of the forest
quickly they jump to shore
to hide before dawn to rest

IT TRAVELLED AFAR........
It travelled afar through fields and streams
my love upon the breasted wind
of summers warmth
It travelled afar through the mind of dreams
my thoughts upon the waters tide
into the distant past
It travelled afar through the valleys and mounts
my desires upon the whim of heart
far beyond my reaching
It travelled afar through never reaching shores
my hope upon the future nestling
waiting to be released
It travelled afar through the coastal plains
my passion upon the wings of chariots of fire
never to be wearied
It travelled afar through wintry forests
my all and being upon the snow fields
beyond the whispers

PHRASE PROVIDED BY MINNIE: It traveled afar through fields and steams
A note to my love.....
The pleasure and wonder of approval
thy thoughtfulness is mine admiration
and of mine sincerest deep reverence of thee
thou are greatly esteemed in mine affection
and significant on this occassion
that precipitates the wonderment of adoration
the joy I hold in thee
a delightful surprise to my appreciation
and I can no longer adhere to the normal
constraints of love that beseech mine heart
for thy love exists conforming to not this world
but to that to which I must depart.....

hmmmm a challenge eh?
SWEET MARMALADE
mammoth the task of ridding the flesh
of all ones' earthly sin that eats away
at the very heart of man
and what can be the antiobiotic that
brings healing to the red viscous fluid
that flows through the very heart of man
sweet marmalade! sweet marmalade?
but surely you jest? but jest I do for you
surely hear me right
nought but the sweet saving grace of
the Son can rid the flesh and restore
the heart of man.
grace sweet grace, sweet grace
is the soothing of one's soul

I've adopted the english sonnet way of writing and its been that way forever..
I've tried different styles but it'll mean throwing my method off..
I'm gonna try my hand at the 3 words to see if something happens..
Maree Long # 5. July 2008, 00:16
DUCK, GREEN, HAT see what you might come up with those three words...either poetry or write a story with it.....you just might surprise yourself
at writing class we were given all kinds of opportunities to try different styles of writing and not just poetry....I found it very helpful

Does seem to be good exercise though..
