dVerse prompt on protest poetry. During the Vietnam War protests we were sewing P arm bands. P was for peace
Jesus walked down
from the mountain
& a crowd had gathered
waiting for his return—
here a man pleaded
for healing of his epileptic son
(the disciples who had stayed
could not heal him)
Jesus thought them all faithless
& called the demon out of the boy
who convulsed violently
& was finally rid of that spirit
The disciples questioned Jesus
why they had failed
& Jesus told them
that prayer and fasting was required
Kitchen is messed
need to get dressed
go now
Garden is waiting
day celebrating
come bow
Altar most striking
candle bush spiking
pray vow

dVerse prompt to write a lai – an old French form
I can’t come out today
I don’t know what to say
I would if I could
all the other prayers
seem so much better
I know you hear trillions of prayers
I am just one of çazillions
help me to find a connection
I am lost in my procrastination
Is it better to write you a letter
