jagged vee of geese
unravel skein of grey sky
winter’s sweater snagged

in quadrille, scripture Tags: freedom, hope, Jesus, sky, surrender
A photo and quadrille of 44 words for dVerse poets on “sky” theme…
i desire to be
a prisoner of hope
captivated by love
learning to surrender
to ultimate good will;
transformed, renewed,
impassioned and freed
to serve, unreservedly, as
we await full redemption
when Jesus, our glorious
hope, returns in blazing
sky with power to reign!
“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. “
(Romans 5:1 & 2 NIV)

An “American sentence” is made of 17 syllables…usually not so pretty 🙂
Easter egg moon waxes yello-quently on indigo sateen sky.

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai‘s spring retreat theme is ” fragile beauty”.
sky blue robin’s egg
delicate avian life
beginning of wings
flight aborted, premature
my eggshell heart softly cracks
