5x5's

 Here are the 5x5 poems I received from people, thank you for writing them! I have really enjoyed reading them. Feel free to write more :)

My voice is broken, cracked,


from the illness I suffer.


Inflicted by my own doing,


I sit, hoarse and tired.


Tomorrow will bring my health.

-Ben Brown

For quite some time now


My brain has gone away


Never coming when most needed


Tears, pain, fear; never understanding


I hope this can change




-Halla Walton


My life is going great.

When I am with God. 

The tears have all dried. 

I’m no longer broken inside.

I find Joy in Jesus.




-Katy Latham

Working extremely hard all night


Time diminishes out of sight


I grow tired and lose fight


It gets out of hand


Now I’m a better man




-Dalton Briley


All women are abstract art


Two pieces aren’t the same


Man can look at one


And see the beautiful sun


While another sees undoubting rain




-Bryan Mabe


Day breaks new opportunities arise.

I surrender; seeking and searching.

To find beauty in rain. 

To give my all today. 

Night falls with no regret




-Scott Chase

Our skin is paper-thin


and yet stronger than steel.


What an overused paradox that


we are made to understand


but can’t seem to grasp. 


  

-Cindy Lusk  

 

The weight; much to bear. 

Yet set my pride aside. 

When all seems quite unfair.

You’ll leave these ropes untied. 

Together stay until we’ve died


  

-Dennis Swartout

 

Went to the coast today,

Asked the Spirit come too!

To our surprise He showed,

Our torn hearts were healed,

So glad we went there.

-Deanna Stanton
