victory is mine

for the past few days i have had experiences

that feel like....a prayer manifested. 

certain intentions took shape! 

had a few tangible confirmations.

felt good!

yes, gotta stay humbled and chisel away at charaacter but....
singing ole church song my grandma would sing...

'victory is mine
victory is mine
victory today is miiine.
i told satan, get thee behind me,
victory today is mine.

joy is mine..."


despite new growth and old milestones, it still trips me out to see intentions manifest. its even tripper when they manifest quikly. lol

jinx

haha..

just cuz i said i was gonna write everyday...

it became damn-near an impossibility. 

they say,

u wanna make God laugh?

make plans.

poem 1

poem #1

septolet poem (seven lines, 14 words)

The Conqueror

Fear

fervently fights,

by lurking

in corners.

Forgetting,

smudges and prayers

specialize in lingering. 

30/30 huh: what have i gotten into?

i have committed myself to writing a poem a day, for the next 30 days, (Inshallah/God willing, i am blessed to see them, that is).

i am already putting myself thru a boot camp of sorts, to enhance flailing skills in discipline. the results are poor and to top it off, i have committed to writing every day this month.

as much as i want to gruel and complain about this "addition" to the things-to-do list, my reality is writers write: everyday. i have not been writing. the only thing that saves my neck is that i journal. but completed-writing tasks are left undone. so what do i say to this challenge?

good! maybe then i'll finish this book. needless to say, any works posted on this and other blogs are the rights and property of this writer. lets not have to pay court fees shall we? thanks.

disclaimer: i am not a poet. but i love to play with words, string sentences together and paint pictures. to get more meaning out of this, i've chosen to write in a poetic form most days and free-write/free-style poems and haikus to fill in the gaps. i'll focus on two poetic forms a week and go between the two, to create something. the poetic forms are chosen randomly. keep things interesting...

masterpieces of minimalism may be my best works. be kind. lol. these are mostly first drafts:)
