Plunge into poetry

by Verna Cole Mitchell

Splash into a sea of poetry.
Let iridescent drops of words penetrate to your heart
And warm you like a glowing fire on the coldest day.
Delight in waves of verse.

Spatter stories everywhere
To entertain and amuse, to excite and amaze
As you travel back in time to places long forgotten.
Rev up your imagination.

Sprinkle gleams of wisdom,
Sparkles of comfort, dewdrops of inspiration,
Mistings of challenge, glimmers of faith.
Revitalize your soul.

Dash headfirst into billows of sound,
Sweet syllables on your tongue of rhythm and rhyme.
Thrill to timbre and tone, rich resonance of music.
Satisfy your senses.

Jump into currents of emotion,
Teased by sun-sparked spray of love and tenderness
Or dampened by melancholy, anger, and fear.
Bathe in sensations.

Plunge into blazes of beauty,
Majesty of mountains, enchantment of rising and setting sun,
The charm, the elegance, and the grace of all creation.
Revel in God's gifts.
