We are working on different forms of poetry. This is a new one for me somewhat like the Japanese haiku except it is called a tanka and consists of five lines with 5 syllables, then 7, 5, 7 and 7. Really quite a challenge and makes you think and use your words sparingly. Subject is some kind of romantic or nature theme. Try making one, it's fun.
Spring blossoms descend
surrounding us with promises
swirling through the air
sweet scents and possibilities
showers of God's love
Lin;

Lovely poem, Lin! Going to have to join the others and give it a try!

Oh wow! I love this poem, Lin. It's absolutely beautiful. It reminds me of our time in Vancouver with the cherry blossom petals falling all around us. It was definitely a spiritual moment.
