Chapter 167 of the book Daily Blessings from God
Daily Blessings - The Sapphonic Triad
"God Gives His Best"
by Sandra du Plessis
|
|
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
and cometh down from the Father of lights ..." (James 1:17)
Our plans will fail
His plan's the best;
He knows our needs
and He'll provide.
Keep your focus on what you have
and praise His name;
He gives abundantly.

Author Notes
The Sapphonic Triad
This form is an invention of our own Cliverde (Carol) and Pantygynt (Jim).
The form is as follows:
A two-line quotation (Free verse but the max total of sixteen syllables - must be concise and memorable) followed by a quatrain, four lines each of four syllables finally an 8-4-6 syllable envoi that moves us on somewhere...it should have a "satori" feeling.
You can use rhyme if you want, as done here:
*** I am using in some cases more than the prescribed sixteen syllables for clarity purposes from the Bible verses; I try to keep it only two lines where possible. I am using KJV of 1959.
"...pale flash not seen as slow you sink;
rocked evermore at Heaven's brink."
In bleak distress,
rejected maid
made her redress,
her pen a blade.
She wrote his lonely death at sea--
Inglorious!
and scored her page with glee.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(or without rhyme)
"O wind, if winter comes
can spring be far behind?"
Let us linger
beneath these trees,
yellow-gold and rose,
this pewter sky.
River tumbles in jade and bronze;
riffles whisper--
O stay, stay! Won't you stay?
Ciliverde
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So the poor have no bread,
then let them eat cake."
The queen has lost
her head. Freedom,
equality,
and brotherhood.
But still poverty persisted.
Time of terror.
Long live the Republic.
Pantygynt
