There are wild-hair ideas. I have them all the time. You probably do too. They
are interesting, instant and mostly impossible. Here’s one …
Every day I get a new word on my computer courtesy of dictionary.com.
Since I believe that you can find God in just about anything, I wondered if I
could find a way to use a “secular” word to create a short, sacred poem with
the surprise word that dictionary.com supplies me. This would provoke me into
creativity and give you something to read. I’m sure there are lots of writing
exercises in the world and this is probably not even new and I’m not sure I can sustain it for more than 1 day, but I think
I’ll try. (Smiley face goes here.)
If you’re not content with what you read, compose a poem of
your own and post it here!
Today’s word is “troubadour.”
Drink
A thundering storm lumbers near,
I feel its power with silent cheer,
Plants lift up green lips to drink
Birds hide as clouds begin to sink
Soft weight releases into rain
Singing; (dryness they distain),
A washing, splattering troubadour;
Brings life anew … God’s amour.
