April 14 – A Wonderful Mind

· Leave a comment ·
A poetry exercise, creatively written from a select of words from each line of a randomly picked page (57) of the book (Silence by Thich Nhat Hanh).

A wonderful Mind
I am,
Walk naturally,
Enjoy completely;
Time to prepare yourself.
One in-breath
And you –
“Three seconds to stop thinking.”
Many of us allow
Day after day…
In the present.
Life and all its wonders,
To you –
The beginning
Of mindful thinking.
Step with each in-breath.

My attempt at a Harlequin poem, a short poem.

Harlequin, a poetic form, rather stories in 9-lines, and 25 syllables ( 1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1) which could be one or more words. “Outline or action series” of a story is how the poem is written. Of course, diamond shape is the end result. ( like in Diamante).
