I am doing a short course titled “Poetry Writing for Fun” through my local U3A. This week we were asked to write something using personification and repetition. Here is my attempt:
I am Gratitude
I gave her the ocean –
She wants bigger waves.
I gave her good health –
She says she’s bored.
I gave her friends –
She asks for more.
I gave her love –
She seeks perfection.
I gave her peace and quiet –
She longs for the City lights.
If only she would know me –
She would have it all.
Good theme for the poem ~ gratitude goes a long way!
I read that at bedtime. one should think of three things they are grateful for and focus on gratitude for them. No room for anxiety or worry then. Good post Rainee. I shared it
Thanks Ruth. I have been doing that practise for the past 6-9 months and find it has a positive impact on my life.
Nice attempt…and it came out beautiful…
Thank you kindly 🙂
