A Day for Discovery (An Abecedarian Poem)

Encouraged by my friend Susan Trestrail's blog post about ABECEDARIAN poetry yesterday, I decided to give this form a try. In an abecedarian poem, one uses all of the letters of the alphabet to begin each line of the poem.

If you click on the link to Susan's blog, you will see several poems of some very gifted writers there. You might want to try this yourself. It has been a fun form to try.

DISCOVERY

Almost always

before the sun 

comes up, I have a sense of wonder, of

discovery,

eager to see what the 

future of this day holds for me. I

gently disturb the quiet of the

house with candlelight and music,

inviting

joy and contentment into my heart.

Keeping steady my promise of

living fully each moment, and giving gratitude for 

my gifts. I find myself

nestled in 

opulent

pleasures as I keep my

quiet traditions of whispered prayers and written words,

rituals of the morning that

set the 

tone for my day.

Unbelievable blessings encourage me to keep my 

vow of discovery, staying busy as I 

wait for

you, Sweet Man to return to me, as the sun sets on this glorious day.
