A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
Like Solomon, who wrote these words, I find soul satisfaction in beautiful speech. As a writer, I search for delicious words to be framed in serendipitous syntax. I hope to pick ripe thoughts, artfully arrange them in woven-word baskets and serve a taste of lingual delights. I admire skilled poets and appreciate how different poetic brushstrokes reveal textured perspectives; unique angles on life’s truth. Flighty images of the mind settle to roost in solid words. Sentinel ideas on signposts outline silent spaces for contemplation. Hand-in-hand, we meander world with senses alert to the wild call of hurricane winds or the fresh whisper of gentle breezes, then collectively record richly scripted delicacies for our hungry souls to feast on.
*Proverbs 25:11, BRG

in quote, rhyming verse Tags: blowing, Dylan, farmers, iowa, sod, wind
earth’s richest
black prairie sod
iowa: “beautiful land”
created by God
claimed by man
wrested from dakota hand
busted, homesteaded,
settled, plowed and
tightly fenced now
as livestock farmers
raise calves from cows
how long sustainable?
dust bowl-like shroud
wind so untamable
we’re losing ground!

(Mahatma Ghandi)
let us love, brothers
find our unity with joy
harmony in Christ
repent, believe, become real
let soul revival begin…
