It’s been several weeks since I have done these. My apologies for the delay. For the last Poetry Challenge, if you remember I had changed things up and decided to just make it for fun, so there is no longer a true competition…just an offer of a prompt for poetry without the competing. As it turned out, there was only one submission from Maggie. Here it is, and thank you to Maggie!!
Skystone Creation

Skystone Creation (a rispetto)
The Ring
A legend chimes some truth and my bell rings.
I feel the depth of turquoise, watch it shine
its message, and I love the song it sings.
What treasure it communicates. How fine
its healing message. Look upon my hand
and see the turquoise circle, small but grand,
that I wear in a ring. It moves my heart,
and with it I know I will never part.
For the Name That Abstract #14, I have derived the name from Maggie’s entry, “O’Keefe Cornflower”. I love Georgia O’Keefe’s paintings, by the way. Her flowers are beautiful! I just shortened the name to “Cornflower”. Thanks, Maggie…and thanks for all the entries submitted. They are listed below, for you to use your favorite(s) as a prompt for the new Poetry Challenge.

After the loving
Rose colored glasses turn to blue
But beauty grows in the midst
I will be putting up another Name That Abstract for you sometime later today, so keep an eye out for it! And remember that there is no deadline for the Poetry challenges. You can keep writing poems now as much as you wish, and with as many of the prompts as you wish. I would still appreciate it if you’ll post them below, or link them below, and link this post on ones that you post on your own page. Thanks!!
Love and blessings,
Anne

Hey Anne,
Here is my poem on the title- “Enchanted Wishing Pool”.
That enchanted wishing pool,
right there within the wilderness
where all wishes come true,
still unfound, still a mystery.
That enchanted wishing pool,
the stories abound everywhere,
the myths surround every corner
but no one knows the secret of
that enchanted wishing pool.
Now I think I have finally found,
the place where it is present-
it is no where else
but within our hearts
yet to be explored,
surrounded by wild desires.
It wants us to find it and make
our all wishes come true
for once, listen to our hearts
and just wish from our hearts
making them all come true.
