Writing in Snow

Thankful Thursday February 17, 2022

Istijál (Majesty), 12 Mulk (Dominion) 178 B.E. - Thursday, February 17, 2022

I submitted this comment to "Poetry Newsletter (February 16, 2022)" : The BOUTS-RIMÉ sounds similar to an exercise I sometimes do. I take the end words from a poem, usually written by one of my favorite poets, and us them as either line ending or line beginning in a poem. This is one way to overcome writer's block because I have to focus on writing a poem different--in either theme, subject, or form--from the poem I took the words from.

On the third Thankful Thursday in February 2022,
         I am thankful ...
                    ...for fresh brewed hot coffee on this late winter morning.
                    ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn.
                    ...for the chocolate cake I had to go with my coffee this morning.
                    ...that I have money in my Bank of America savings account.
                    ...for the peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich I had for lunch
                    ...that I received the following merit badge received between 2/11/22 to 2/17/22.

I submitted this comment to "Action/Adventure Newsletter (February 16, 2022)" : Another type of hero is a hero of faith or a faith hero. This is a person such as a saint or someone who is martyred for their belief in God, one of His Prophets,or for humanity. Examples of these are Christ, The Bab, Tahirih (the Persian poet), or Saint Valentine.
