An instructor from one of my online poetry classes gave us a list of words and asked us to choose one to write a poem in any form we chose. I chose to write in simple rhyme about the word “contentment”. I find I’m more at peace and full of contentment in my garden.
How do you find contentment?
CONTENTMENT
Children grown
Life’s my own.
Friends are few
That will do.
Birds they sing.
No phones ring.
Flowers dance,
Bunnies prance.
Slow now – good.
As I should.
It’s not hard
In my yard.
‘Til next time, remember you are loved by the One who created you in His image.
Blessing,
Lynne
