Assignment
“Today’s word is trust write a poem in which you address, reflect on, or tell a story about the feeling of trusting or being trusted by another (person, animal, object, potted plant…). Or about distrusting them (or not being trusted yourself).”
Bright sunny morning, yesterday.
Rested great the evening before.
Even positive of outcome today.
After five years, no recurrence.
Satisfied mammogram clear and okay.
Trust broken image not clear today.
Sadly, breasts may not be okay!
Prompted by a suggestion from fellow blogger, Karuna, to participate in Writing 201-Poetry, I printed down Day 3’s Assignment this morning.
First, “what the heck is meant by acrostic“? Googled and found the answer and said to Hubby, “Oh I did something like that, and didn’t even know it, shortly after Chelsea was born.”
Chelsea Yvonne is our 23-year-old granddaughter.
I was so overjoyed with the birth of this beautiful new baby, with my name and birthday, that I created what I thought, at the time, was a poetic Welcome New Baby Card:
Cuddly
Huggable
Enchanting
Lovable
Sweetheart
Embraced, and
Adored
This stab at poetry twenty-three years ago as well as this assignment today are my poetic words written from the heart.

I like both of these.
I did one for each of my granddaughters.

Are the stories that you’re posting about slavery in book form?

“A Sharecropper’s Son Achieves the American Dream, is a book of memoirs written by my Hubby, James C. Thomas. The excepts I shared sound like they may have occurred during slavery, but actually took place during the 1940s and 50s in rural Mississippi.

Thank you, Meredith. You have now seen my only two attempts at writing poetry. But I must admit this Writing 201 class as peaked my interest to delve further into it.

Writing runs in your family. I love Chelsea’s Acrostic. Your Acrostic speaks your calm fears. Blessings and prayers for a good outcome. ❤

Thank you for the positive comments. Though poetically-challenged, I am grateful that blogging has opened the door to poetry and the people that are gifted with poetic words. Though, I only did one lesson from Writing 201, I bookmarked all of them because learning more about the different types of poetry is something that I want to explore further.
