Welcome to Poetry Party #80!
I select an image (the photo above is by Alicia Dykstra) and suggest a theme/title and invite you to respond with your own poem. Scroll down and add it in the comments section below or join our Holy Disorder of Dancing Monks Facebook group and post there.
Feel free to take your poem in any direction and then post the image and invitation on your blog (if you have one), Facebook, or Twitter, and encourage others to come join the party! (If you repost the photo, please make sure to include the credit link below it and link back to this post inviting others to join us).
We began this month with a Community Lectio Divina practice with a story from the Gospel of Luke and followed up with our Photo Party on the theme of “letting go.” (You are most welcome to still participate). We continue this theme in our Poetry Party this month. What are you continuing to discover about letting go?
You can post your poem either in the comment section below*or you can join our Holy Disorder of Dancing Monks Facebook group (with more than 2400 members!) and post there.
*Note: If this is your first time posting, or includes a link, your comment will need to be moderated before it appears. This is to prevent spam and should be approved within 24 hours.

Abandon
The wild bird knows
complete abandon
to song
She throws herself
into the sky
with complete abandon
She find her mate
together
they fly through the rainbow
with complete abandon
To sing
to fly
to love
she follows the rules of her heart
with complete abandon
always we begin
releasing to create space
opening to now
Love that phrase, JoAnn – opening to NOW!
