A spell (that breaks the pace of life abloom)
Disrupts life’s tale. Tells of events epic:
Living bodies in an eternal tomb.
The first spell’s cast by a bringer of doom
This tangible spell’s effect is basic,
Living bodies in an eternal tomb.
Not so the next. A game act, from His bloom,
To release His life fully, for our sake.
A Love that broke the pace of life abloom.
Buried three days in dark, despair, and gloom
His disciples’ hope and strength burnt like wicks.
Eternal body in a living tomb.
A different “spell”, “cast” over us, by whom
Many lives saved. Those who sing His lyrics,
Will find broken the pace of life abloom.
He rose again, it need not be assumed.
Within His will, it’s our predestined pick–
(an act which breaks the pace of life abloom)
Living bodies or an eternal tomb.

(This is a Villanelle. One of the stiffer forms of poetry. Given that I don't have time to blog, and yet feel sorry when I don't, I am forced to blog my poems...)

The great poetry just keeps on coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I will have to show these to Uncle Paul, did you know he was a poetry major at Penn? He hasn't done any writing in ages but when we were dating and first married he wrote me a number of poems, I will have to show them to you some time.
Keep up the great work!!!!
I just noticed on your bolg list that you are reading Sisters Grimm. I saw an add for them and was intriqued. What do you think? I just finished a quirky little book called "The Pirates! in an Adventure with Scientists" it is a paperback flip book and the other side is "the Pirates! in an Adventure with Ahab" I havn't gotten to it yet, I will have to lend it to you when you are done with your school reading (I wouldn't want to be a cause for distraction) or I could bring it to CHAP this weekend.
