I know all I’ve done in recent weeks is the 100 word challenge. I promise that I have other things on the line. Including an interview with a great author. For now, here is my 100 words for this week.
This week’s challenge word was “Fingers”. This is not as dark as my last two at all. I hope you enjoy it.
Circle of Life
Long, elegant, comforting and soft.
Soothing with unconditional love.
Strong, steady, supporting and firm.
Cradling unconditional love.
Little, flexing, releasing and stretching.
Reaching toward unconditional love.
Exploring, probing, playing and fidgeting.
Impatient racing toward independence.
Bleeding, broken, impaired and depleted.
Searching for the relief of comfort
Growing, stretching, changing and reaching.
Looking for independent strength.
Shunning, hiding, holding all within.
Smothering unconditional love.
Building, learning, shining and finding.
Once again reaching for love.
Seeking, joining, touching, loving.
Finding the matching grasp.
Encircled, shining, holding, oath swearing.
Joining a larger circle of love.
Tiny, reaching, grasping tight.
Unconditional love found again.
This is a warm and wonderful poem. It would get my vote, straight away!!
Wonderful!! I love the cute little baby fingers pic too. Sets off the whole piece nicely.
Thanks!! I have to admit that is a stock photo of baby fingers *lol* I searched in my archives for pictures of my girls fingers – and all I found were toes!!
Love the format of this piece, and the gorgeous descriptive verbs.
Thank you, Gregg. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
