Poetry is natural medicine, it is like a homeopathic tincture derived from the stuff of life itself–your experience. Poems distill experience into the essentials. Our personal experiences touch the common ground we share with others.”

Cinquain Delight process notes:
….. Delight = joy, pleasure
….. Being = existence, life form, living thing, organism
Delight equals Joy, available to all. It is there. Have you the eyes to see it? The will to embrace it?
JOY
Joy sits
awaiting recognition
your embrace
complete cognition
Joy,
ever accessible,
sits.
Waiting.
For you.
I Am blessed

to fount below
no desire to bend
against, away from wind
content to flow
simple example for men
in the moment, zen
contentment know
