Shapes of Practice

Circles, squares,
Poems, Prayers!
Weaving, writing,
Creating, inviting!

Lessons, reading,
Learning, eating!
Feeding body, mind and soul
With the work I love to hold,

Only then to give away
The things that fill each joyous day
To someone needing comfort, care–
In weaving, writing,
Circles, squares!


I always enjoy Walt’s prompts over at
dVerse,
and this one is no exception. We’re asked to write of either drought or deluge. I’ve experienced both on many levels, and each takes a different art of balancing! This current deluge is a positive one. πŸ™‚

  1. There are times when our creativity seems inexorable, as contrasted to the virtual drought of blocks to it; such is the state of being an artist among chaos.

  2. Good for you to find that joy and balance in work and in your creative writing. You are very lucky to have this deluge of inspiration.

    • Would also appreciate it if you can visit and return comments from other poets. Our community thrives on reciprocal visits and encouragement from each other. Thanks for your participation.
