Grace at Real Toads challenged us to write a poem in the form of a Rictameter. Since tomorrow is the festival of Pentecost it seemed right to write about the work of the holy spirit then and now.
Spirit
Came down to Earth
Riding on wind's breath
Tongues as of fire without heat
Touching all those gathered there together
Resting, giving, filling, teaching
Tools of proclamation
For all of time
Spirit
Spirit
Invited now
Move among us today
As all those centuries ago
Be alive in our world, empowering
Give us the words we need to say
Actions that we must take
Come spirit come
Spirit

from eons people have believed in he power of spirits........captured beautifully here...
This is the perfect praise poem for Sunday.
Emma, girl, this is magnificent, both content and form.You were inspired and we can summise by whom. The incantation, the prayer...simply wonderful work. Thank you.
Lovely!
"Give us the words we need to say
Actions that we must take"
And all we need to do is listen. Thanks for the reminder. I needed it.
Beautifully done altogether, Emma, and lovely with the colored background, but perhaps boldface type would stand out better against the strong colors?

Lovely, lovely heartfelt prayer .....
Emma, came back from Pentecost at church to find this. Why didn't the pastor's wife think of the Holy Spirit? ha ha
Really, the way you handled the "then" and "now," how in Scripture it seems so bizarre, yet the Holy Spirit touches us all in such meaningful ways... well, t his was a Pentecost blessing to me. Peace, Amy
very powerful!
Lovely poem with a great message. May the Spirit fill us all.
beautiful and uplifting =)
