Mångata* – Free Verse with Wordle – January 4, 2015

Posted on January 4, 2015 by Georgia

find shelter under the loving moon
bright as she shines down tonight
upon the water is her bright path
walk bravely into this new year

resolve to turn your sin to peace
create a revolution of love
review each day with a smile
and win yourself a brand new life

walk with me on Mångata
be a miracle in this dark age
forget the anger and the pain
under the moon’s gentle light

find shelter in the loving moon
upon the water is her bright path

© G.s.k. ‘15

Shelter, belief, dedicated, new, sin, turn, revolution, resolve, design, review, win, shine (Sunday Whirl)

*Swedish for Moon Road – the glimmering, road-like reflection that the moon creates on water (Mindlovesmisery’s Menagerie)

  I like wordles and love the way the word work somehow into a poem … it’s like having a set of colors and a blank piece of paper … and someone saying, let’s see what you can come up with. Glad you liked the poem.

    Yes that’s a great way of looking at Wordles yet I only seem to do them when the words immediately suggest something to me. Must try and do more…

I agree with Jae Rose. The moon brings a sense of peace that the sun cannot. I’ve always been kind of a creature of the night, to be honest.

  I love the moon, although I’m a creature of the very very early morning … the moon tends to soften whereas the sun is harsh … but he can be warm. Thanks for commenting (and again, this was in my spam folder) 🙂
