Centering–Response to Monday Morning Writing Prompt

Centering

Go to the Within
both end and new beginning
the circle of life

Look now at nature
shapes of earth trees and flowers
spheres of creation

Life death and rebirth
embedded in mystery
shade of the divine.

My response to Monday Morning Writing Prompt’s challenge to write a circular poem: https://liv2write2day.wordpress.com/2011/03/28/monday-morning-writing-prompt-circular-poetry/

Monday Morning Writing Prompt–Circular Poetry

It’s Monday afternoon here and Tuesday in some part of the world. My house guests have left and little-by-little I will return to my routine and become re-acquainted with the goings-on in the world of our poetry communities.

For today’s prompt, I would like to suggest a circular poem (or short fiction.) Think about something that begins and ends back where it begins. You may consider life cycles, seasons, journeys, relationships, sacred geometry…anything that is cyclical/circular. You can use any poetic form if you choose to write poetry and may want to try something that uses repetition or even a structure such as a circle or spiral.

This week I didn’t have a chance to write anything, but hopefully I will have something for you very soon. Please submit your poem or a link to it in the comment section of this post. Short fiction is also welcome.
