Hey there, Poets-in-Residence! De Jackson (aka WhimsyGizmo) here. It’s Quadrille Monday again (my favorite!)…when we pen poems of exactly 44 words (not counting the title), including one specific word provided.
Open your Heart
Close the door to sickness
open your heart to appreciation.
Close your eyes to pessimism
open your heart to optimism.
Close your mouth to negativity
open your heart to positive thinking.
Close your ears to bad news
open your heart to faith and hope.
