For the winds of March that bring
The cool gentle rain

On this Thankful Thursday, I am thankful for the prayers Baha'u'llh revealed for the Nineteen-Day Fast.

At 76, I no longer physically Fast. I say the prayers because they help me focus on breaking a specific bad habit.

Is it going to rain?
Maybe, Maybe not.

April is approaching
when poetic madness
takes hold of the poet's soul
and a writing frenzy occurs.
