Poetry Monday :: Don't be afraid!
Mandagsdigt :: Vær ikke bange!

     Mandagsdigtet er en blogleg, som Mimi fra Messymimi's Meanderings og jeg har overtaget - midlertidigt håber vi - fra Diane, der slapper af og rejser verden rundt med sin mand. Vi håber hun er parat til at tage over igen, når hun kommer hjem.
    
Stikordene kommer fremover fra 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts. Det er en Facebook-gruppe, der udgiver et stikord til hver dag i året, men bare rolig, stikordene vil stadig være at finde både her og på Mimis blog.

Dagens stikord er:
Vær ikke bange! Men jeg er alligevel bange for at jeg ikke når et digt på dansk i dag.

Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings and I have taken over the hosting duties, mostly the supplying of the prompts - only temporarily we hope - while Diane at On the Border is taking a break for health and relaxation, travelling the world with her husband as far as we can tell.
 
We just hope she's going to take back over once she returns home.

The prompts now come from 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts group. This is a Facebook group with a prompt for each day of the year, but no worries, the prompts will still be here and at Mimi's blog.

  I have something more to ask of you: If you read this and the poetry of others via the links, would you please leave a comment.
  Half - if not more - the fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others
.


Today's subject is Don't be afraid

As ofteh when I do not really know what to write, I found words that rhyme and make something strange. This here peom ended in a totally unexpected place.

This life is just small things galore
- Don't be afraid
Enjoy them, do them, there'll be more
- Don't be afraid
Small things are big and not a chore
- Don't be afraid
Small things deligth me to the core
- Don't be afraid
The polished stones upon the shore
- Don't be afraid
The birds that sing and fly and soar
- Don't be afraid
Wet baby footprints on the floor
- Don't be afraid
A strange knocking at my door
- Don't be afraid
A newborn Child that we adore.
- Don't be afraid.
