Time limitations have kept me from joining in on the SECRET KEEPER’S WEEKLY WRITING PROMPTS THESE LAST WEEKS.
I have intentionally put aside time this week to join in. You can see all of this week’s contributions by clicking the underlined link above.
This week’s five prompt words are: | WEB | LOST | BLACK | SCRATCH | LOCK |
What follows is a Shadorma in honor of the Passion Week
Shadorma (3 – 5 – 3 – 3 – 7 – 5)
six lines – no rhymes – multiple stanzas [your choice] – just follow meter
Three Days
by JE Lillie
Day One: Death.
Scratch rejoiced as Christ
Succumbed on
Man’s black cross
Had love lost the day? Night reigned.
Captivity wept.
Day Two: Chained.
Scratch locked Christ in Hell.
His web wound
Bound Christ tight.
Jesus smiled and love woke life
In Hell. Demons shook.
Then He Rose.
Scratch’s keys were lost
Captive hearts
Shouted loud.
As Christ led through the black night
To third day freedom.
