March still life
Yesterday I mentioned that I had encouraged C.cada’s artists to get their creative juices flowing by writing some poetry, using the Tanka rhythm, and inspired by our monthly still-life. Here are some of the responses I got.

I have seen the light.
I have journied on life’s fight.
You are always there.
There is noone to compare.
Stay and sing within my soul.

Herein lies the task…
Too many to be contained…
A reflection of…
My inner life and our times…
Working to keep all aloft.

March Still Life: By Wendy Brouillet
Wendy Brouillet
Kicking, laughing, having fun
Throwing, falling, ouch!
Sweaty, dirty, getting hit
Playing free with abandon.
-Wendy Brouillet
Let me challenge you to write your own piece inspired by our March Still-life. You can use any poetic form you want. Just have fun.
-Title Your post C.cada March Still- life. You can use the photo of the still- life in your post if you would like and then link back to “Lillie-Put” for our readers to view.
Here’s mine!
worn sun faded treasurers escape the container,
hard used globes share memories of times gone but not forgotten,
sweat and laughter join to celebrate wins and losses,
related by use and function stories remain untold.
age barriers evaporated by tales of victories accomplished,
fellowship shared, anger dissipated, love enriched, friendships formed.
caught in stillness waiting for the next opportunity to rise to the challenge.
Thanks Pastor J for the challenge.

I loved this Charlotte “caught in stillness waiting for the next opportunity to rise to the challenge.” What a poignant line!
Such few words to speak volumes to us. Love the Tankas and Wendy’s sketch. I definitely liked the Tanka exercise at C.cada. I’m so glad you are sharing the Tankas of the other artists it is always nice to see the eyes of others. Thanks, Pastor J for starting C.cada. Many blessings to you!
It was a great exercise! So many viewpoints like the still-life itself!
Wonderful idea, Pastor J! I’ll be back if I come up with anything! God bless you!
I sure hope you do Deb! U would love to see what you wrote!
I’ve always said I cannot write poetry and still say it. I was so surprised when the Lord gave me four verses for my Christmas cards last year – but I didn’t write them!
Oh you should have Angela. I would love to see the verse God gives you.
