Light-Cycle

December weak light, January, bleak light, spring light increasing: warm, life-awakening … never none – … but never too far, deep-freezing, never too near, frizzling.

Temperate December, variations

Dark, mild … dripping trees … wan white sun … stillness. Whirling whiteness … Bright sun, azure sky … vivid dark shadows … Downpour crashing …

The Whole Advent Calendar December 2022

[I have often attempted some sort of Advent Calendar in December. Last year it was just on each day-number, others have attempted the background to the birth in the manger. This year I've attempted verse again on the numbers of the days, but drawing out some significance from the Bible history, all in brief limerick form. Limerick form was not used to indicate humour, but as a form to make a catchy brief point.] I've now combined the 25 individual days, and of course lost a few comments.

Celebrating Messiah’s birth, or family time for relaxation, jollity and mirth – but will excess bring weariness, fractiousness, and dearth of cash and joy in January? [IP: on …

Surprising simple structure bafflingly suitable properties unusual medium essential for living cells for transportations and chemical reactions … and lighter when frozen … don’t stand on that ice until you know it’s thick enough, tough enough! But how is there so much on earth? …

So sad that there should be such hatred for Christ. Pray that such a death would actually prompt some to seek the God he served and who upheld him, and upholds those who remain. Rhiannon

What wonderful truth, and love, and so tragic that so many don't think about it, reject without thought, pray that many eyes and minds will be cleared to 'see' and receive! Rhiannon

You always have a musical

Posted on Sun, 12 Jan 2020

You always have a musical flow of words, Nolan, though very concentrated, personal, and enigmatic in the sense that there seems to be much background thinking linking it all. The Bible verse seems to give the key here of the mixture of patience...

Rhyme gets a bad press

Posted on Wed, 08 Jan 2020

Rhyme gets a bad press because of forced rhymes and poor rhythm that can really be doggerel. For those of us who use rhymeing quite a lot we know it can not only be satisfying, but helpful when used to help the rhythm and the impact. Similarly,...

Posted on Tue, 07 Jan 2020

Good to share your investigations, Luigi! and the point made here somehow of the different approach to rhythm, and having to decide on how long is best for the content you have. The idea of the coda to 'round off' is interesting too. I wonder how...

Interesting last verse

Posted on Sun, 05 Jan 2020

Interesting last verse thought of unwrapping suprising ideas in your mind, and the excitment of developing them creatively, and that that is possible despite shortcomings and aging! Rhiannon

yes, much interesting

Posted on Fri, 20 Dec 2019

yes, much interesting interplaying imagery - I like the 'wind stripped trees' and the cool of the darkening evening. Also the touch and contrast of warmth drawing to the homes.

But I'm glad that Man's hubris isn't ultimately going to be...

Posted on Sat, 14 Dec 2019

I too couldn't see what this was about at first. The line that stands out to me is You didn't have to go,

and the sense of why there hadn't been more sharing and acceptance of help many can't now give, had no opportunity probably...

Posted on Sun, 08 Dec 2019

Again, thank you for highlighting this wonderful incident,recorded in John chapter 9, and so straight-forwardly. Good 'food for thought' on a Sunday morning.
