Holy in 10 Words
The Meeting the Bar prompt over at dVerse Poets Pub today is to write a ten-word poem. This poetry “form” was apparently created by Brian Miller who is quoted as saying “after ten words no one is listening anyway.” It just so happens that the other night as I was getting ready for bed I wrote a poem that, including the title, was exactly ten words. I jotted it down in the notepad on my nightstand before retiring. It’s been rattling around in my brain ever since trying to find a second stanza. Now I know the reason it didn’t find a second stanza is because it was already done.
Holy
Holy Holy
set apart
for the work of God

Looks complete to me.
Thanks!
Perfect 10, all that is needed to be said is said ~ Thanks for the uplifting share ~
Absolutely complete.
Thanks for your comment over in my blog. Really, I did appreciate that you commented. You regretted that Blogger did not have a ‘like’ button. For me, I pay no attention to these ‘like’ buttons, as they mean nothing to me…so I am glad that Blogger does not have one. If I visit a poem, I do find some comment to make on it. I feel that if a person visits me and comments, I want to reciprocate with a comment as well. A simple ‘like’ really isn’t the same. I really like to visit other poets and read their contributions, but after a while if I find people are not reciprocal I don’t bother any more…as I, too, have limited time. If you comment on mine, I will ALWAYS comment back. Smiles. Have a good weekend, Linda.
You have really captured the essence of ‘holy’ here, Linda.
Singularly lovely.
Beautifully complete.
beautiful! There can be nothing better than to be set apart for the Glory of the One who made us…for then we are truly fulfilling our purpose in life!
those are the best moments when we not only know about his holiness but physically feel it
Who needs a second stanza; this ten words say volumes; nice turn on the prompt; made Brian smile, & share.
Second stanzas are overrated, I guess. 🙂
i went to service last night and had such an amazing time
the spirit was really moving…i did not want to even shut my eyes in prayer as i was just taking it in..and so many were pouring out their hearts in honest prayer….
Sounds like an awesome service!
Indeed. Nothing else to use that word for.
My, that says a great deal.
