A Good Day

It's a good day to writ poetry
and contemplate,
in stanza and line,
the Bicentenary of the Birth of the Bab.

Two Poems A Day

One hundred and seven days
to write one hundred and sixty four poems:
Is this possible?

Withe the help of Baha'u'llah
and the Bab,
I believe it is.

If I write two poems a day
it will take me eighty-two days,
that will give me twenty-five days
to review what I have written
to celebrate
the Bicentenary of the Birth of the Bab.

I also posted this poem in the journal, Writing in Snow, under the folder Awardicon Items, in my writing.com portfolio. Visit My Portfolio @ Writing.Com

The Last Sunday in September 2017

It is the last Sunday in September 2017, I'm feeling a bit down. I'm not sure why, but I think it may have something to do with the change of season. It's autumn, the temperatures (at least here in Las Vegas) are cooler. We've turned off all the air conditioning that keeps the place livable in summer. The door remains open all day, which does make it a bit chilly in the house. That's all right because I really don't care to have the space heater on right now. 

I've finished 182 of the 200 poems I'm dedicating to the Blessed Beauty. I begin poem 183 today, with the intention of finishing it sometime this evening or tomorrow. The bicentenary of the Birth of Baha'u'llah is 28 days away. I will be attending the bicentenary celebration here in Las Vegas, so I may have a final poem (over the 200) to write after returning home from the celebration. 

Last Tuesday, September 19, I had an outpatient procedure on my left leg. My leg feels better today than it has all week, so it is healing. That is good, but I still have to get up and walk around. I need to walk around more than what I am. Therefore, I will get up right now and walk around, and when I get back I will post this. 

Bicentenary Birthday Celebration Poem

In the two hundred years since His birth, 

The world has changed, 

And His scriptures have spread across 

The planet. 

In 2017, 

We celebrate His 200th birthday, 

It is a planetwide celebration 

Of love for Baha'u'llah. 

Motivational Monday: Afternoon Motivation

This afternoon was motivated to finish some paperwork, so that I can get it in the mail on Tuesday. The paperwork is finished, in a properly addressed envelope, stamped, and waiting for me to either take it across the street to put in the outgoing mail or lay it by the door so I can take it out tomorrow when the postal delivery person comes. Considering the temperature right now, I may do the latter. 

I also finished three more poems dedicated to the Blessed Beauty. I am attempting to write 200 before October 22, which is the bicentenary of the Birth of Baha'u'llah. So far, I have 60 ideas or themes for the poems with approximately 35 finished. I should have between 40 and 45 finished by Friday, July 21. I am not going to worry about rewriting until I have all the poem finished because it does not help my muse if I attempt to rewrite a group of poems before I have completed the entire group.
