invitation…celebration

(Join d’Verse Poets writing “echo” poems…and enjoy reading!)
 

who may come?

anyone

run as a child

wild

come humble

stumble

from shrouded night

fright

into living light

sight

come poor and needy

lovesick, greedy

come dirty and mean

be clean

hungry, thirsty, or chilled

be filled

come with your doubt

re-route

lay out your fleece

peace

the hour is near

here!

    Sounds like a place where everyone is welcome….
    The echos create an uplifting rhythm. Enjoyed this. 🙂

    I like the theme of this and the almost skipping quality of it. childlike but very wise.

    Such short, short verses and you make them work so well (I admire you, I can never do that without sounding trite). Particular favourites:

    come dirty and mean

    be clean

    hungry, thirsty, or chilled

    be filled

    come with your doubt

    re-route

    Great energy & insight here, & the spritely echoes are very well designed & executed; terrific use of the prompt as your politics shine through.
