Golden Rule



forgive
erase offense
trust God to vindicate
free yourself and the offender
treat others as you need to be treated
make love your greatest endeavor
be at peace with all men
reap happiness
be blessed



Passion,imagination
and intellect
running together...
Poetry in motion~~~

Aloha with
warmest regards, Koko

Wow! This is a totally new form to me, so I have no idea whether it's correct or not, but it is fascinating and very nicely written! Think I'll keep this one.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

It is such a pleasure to read your works as you share such a diverse talent in not only your creations but in the formats that you present them in. Wonderful piece from you as always and of course the re-write of the message is beautiful. I applaud you!!

It is a rictameter shape:

initial line is 2 syllables,
increase the number of syllables
by 2 each line,
i.e. 2 4 6 8 10,
then 8 6 4 2.
Marilyn, thanks for your sweet comments!!!!

And Mark: you made me blush!
Thanks for your graciousness to comment as you have.
You just blessed my socks off! LOL

I am very ill and am hindered in making very many posts or doing very much commenting when I do get to come here. (Long story ....but it's a lot of pain for me to sit for very long in the wheelchair....) Forgive me if I have not been here as much to read or post...

I am fighting to get the muse to write!!! LOL
Thanks and God Bless you!
