In its’ most gentle power
are smiles like flowers
they’ll open -soft petals to you
hinty whiffs of lavender and dandelions
to pick them clean off the bone
relax the creaks of muscles
stiff and achy joints
relieve the croaky moans
sending signals across the body-verse
sigh of great relief, like a raisin born in the sun
shushing, quietly into borders
shushing away, worries of the day
so if you should sit a tiny bit,
and feel its gentle power,
I pray, your smile will contain,
a glow of beauty for the soul,
a gleaming light of peace
luminous and grand,
morning in the heart,
until nothing can resist
this garden of smiles
I pray.π

This is, as always, so beautiful. It painted such a delicate picture in my mind. I’m aware that today is the last day of #NaProWriMo, and I just wanted to say what a special experience and pleasure your poetry has been to read over this time. I know I only came along in the middle of the month, but I really appreciate the wonderful poet you are. You have so much talent. I couldn’t have done 30 days of poetry flat out! Thank you for sharing with me all your work. I’m looking forward to seeing and reading what you write next. Take care, my dear friend. Ellie x β€ β€ β€

You are so welcome, Krissy. I’ve enjoyed every one of your poems. I’ll read today’s entry later on. I’m starting a six-week writing course from this Wednesday – it’ll mean lots of coursework though, which I’ll enjoy. I’m just a bit worried I might not be able to spend so long writing my memoirs or reading the work of my blogging friends. I’ll have to see how it goes. Blogging has improved my confidence in my writing, though, which can only be a good thing ππΌπ
