      Hmm, it looks like it got rid of the formatting. I did have spaces between the verses…

        @elano

        Why, thank you.

        Ooooo, the ocean. I like the ocean. (Just don’t think about what could be lurking under the waves. . . 😳🦈🐉🦑)

        Poem number 4 (Is that a gentle way of ending this little game, or a challenge 😎 ????)

         

        Stalling

        I have stuff to do

        dire and dear things

        Important and near things

        I must go!

        but,

        I don’t want to

         

        Why is it,

        that a task of most import

        doesn’t always impel us

        out of our comfort?

         

        Time passes, and goes on

        and on

        and on

        and then

        It turns out I’ve run too late

        to proceed

        or begin

         

        And I moan

        and cry

        “Why did I do that

        It was so dumb

        I knew better!”

        But I just don’t learn

         

        So if you’re reading this

        please hear my desperate plea

        Do what you need to

        When you need to

        and don’t put off like me

        You will love what you spend time with.

          When you don’t want to do something, what should you do? Write a poem about procrastination of course!

          You will love what you spend time with.

            Of course 😜

            Haha. Love it!

            Thanks for the poetry swap it’s been fun! Wait I’m supposed to send one more then we’re even.

            Hmmm let’s see…

            Dancing Lights

            The great Northern Lights

            Are soaring in the heights.

            Like many dancing

            Their hues are flashing.

            Sweeping, swirling, running,

            Changing with each second passing.

             

            With each second they’ve shifted

            Look away for just a second, they’re missed.

            The pictures painted with light

            Ever dancing at night.

            At night in the North

            They suddenly burst forth.

             

            What can parallel their great dance?

            It’s more beautiful than romance.

            It is our Father’s delight

            To give His children wonder in the night.

            We can look in great awe at the light

            And thank God for the night.

             

            Though the night is sometimes scary

            And of it we are weary

            It is the only time we see the display

            Of stars and lights and moon at play.

            The night is spectacular

            If only we lift our eyes from the ground to the air.

             

             

            Again thank you! That was fun. Have a great day!

              @power Whoa, that poem was AMAZING and really touching!! I loved it! THANK YOU for sharing it with us!! It reminded me of the lyrics from TobyMac’s song Scars. “It doesn’t matter who you are, this world goin’ leave some battle scars.”

              God gives His hardest battles to His strongest soldiers.

                @elanor Alas! I suppose this means that our little game has come to a close. *blows nose loudly into a hanky* Well, as you said, it was fun. Thanks for sharing!
