This is a prompting Blog

My intent here is to write a poem from the prompt I give to you , the reader, in hopes that it will inspire something and get others to write with me.

Today is WOW.... ( Words of Wednesday)

WOW.... ( Words of Wednesday) here at Dodge Writes, which means the blogs we follow are going to be crammed into two or more poems. If you are joining us today on this adventure please note it is not necessary for you to do these prompts this way, but we do hope you stop in at each of these wondeful sites. You will enjoy each of them.

For our prompt today we are doing a Dectina Refrain. The form is a syllable count of 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9 and then a repeat of lines 1 - 4 to stress the point made there. It was invented by Catherine Mackie. It is a bit like an inverted nonet with a twist.

Now you know why we call today WOW !!! And here we go... OURS ARE...
 
Dear Me...
Are those laugh lines I see,
there, where all those tears used to be ?
I told you good days would find you one day,
and you believed, now they are here to stay !
You needn't worry about your past,
those bad times, have left you at last,
leave them lay, you have more to do,
memories to make with the ones who love you,
live happily and laugh out loud,
forgive the past, don't be too proud,
the rest of your life is yours to live,
be excessive with the love you give.
All my love... Me
 NEXT WE  OFFER...
 
 
MIXED MESSAGES
 
Love
means you
are never 
completely wrong
yet having the strength
to know the right time to
swallow your pride , take the blame,
allow your loved one to be right,
and mean it when you say you're sorry
 
Love means you are never completely wrong
 
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST...
 
LYNN SMITH
 
You may never truly know
But it is evident to me
that without you life is tragic
our friendship was meant to be
You're truly a gift I treasure
and will 'till the end of my days 
it is no illusion we two
are friends, forever and always

LOVE YOU GIRL !!
