We cope so differently
Painted mirth
Fatigued brow
Spiritual songs
Opined seizure
Times chant
But we can all learn and grow
Solitudes wish
Plague of prayers
Pellucid quest
Patience narrows
Contemplation deviation
Open my heart as I prepare my soul …
Sequenced songs
Heart that longs
Searching soul
Open communication
Lurid license
As I add to Greenberg’s charms to stretch our comprehension.
Don’t bow your head … listen learn and love instead!
d’Verse, Greenberg charms, Laura – apologies classic editor wont let me rearrange first part similar to remainding format
LIsten, learn… that is what makes us grow.

You, as I did, did a good job in shaping the poem to ape Greenberg’s style. I agree that you created many of your own “charms”, and fitted them in well.

I love how you tumble words down through the stanzas here like a waterfall, or should that be a ‘wordfall.’ I really enjoyed your Greenberg-inspired poem!

I like your poem, Kate ( strophe 1 and 3 ) . I am a bit surprised by the second and especially in it by ‘”plague of prayers “. Surprised because your poem looks like a prayer. 😉
Love ❤

Many years ago I participated in this thing called ‘Hands Across America” – it was an attempt to inspire and create a united front of similarity instead of focus on difference.
I like your ‘charms’ ….
