@whatisnew shares with us two poems prompted by the creepy doll prompt!
I found two poems that I really enjoyed. The picture from @wandrnrose7's dolls creeped out @wonderwop and his poem about those dolls was so funny. He called them "creepy sisters" which was perfect, and his last line of the poem was a perfect and funny ending.
@kimberlylane freaked me out...big time! I will never look at dolls the same ever again. Talk about scary! And her haiku approach for her thoughts was incredible and in my opinion, not an easy thing to do.
@saulos recommends to us a poem prompted by the word redemption by @jakim:
Good afternoon, on this occasion I would like to recommend a poem written by @jakim7 in which he again takes up his philosophical tendency through poetry, analyzing in a brief but complete way his vision about the need to cultivate values over an egocentric tendency, but also in that effort, he manages to complete it as an acrostic, which shows the degree of difficulty in which he was submerged when taking care of the rhyme on the one hand and on the other following the acrostic form.
For these reasons I request that you be considered for your support, then leave the link of your post:

Interior Redemption
The lost joy will return
As soon as there is wisdom in us,
From our near inner world
It is imperative to grow in the superior,
Nothing that is external should confuse
When the internal is to build,
It will be useless to clean the
Vile oxide from the external tinsel,
Nothing will be an obstacle to learning ...
Always imitate what is superior
No one advances by copying the inferior,
Neither does he advance who is unbelieving,
It is illusion to pretend what you have learned,
It requires sustained effort and humility
Imitate the good to overcome the darkness,
Others feed evil inside them,
They use shortcuts to obscure the truth ...
@wandrnrose7 found a wonderful freewrite poem prompted by pumped.
This poem was fun and utilizing repetition really gives the reader a pumped up mood!
Please welcome a new member to our group @goastrighter who used the prompt redemption to craft a heartfelt truth. Sometimes few words pack a large message.
Prepare your heart for deep reflection while reading and experiencing a well-crafted poem prompted by none other than the word redemption.
@saulos shares this poem from @charjaim. Many of us are aware of the state of affairs in Venezuela. Freewriters, please take a moment to read.
Born out of the experience of living outside his homeland @charjaim presents a poem and acrostic in which he expresses the love she feels for his homeland, highlighting the values with which she identifies it, leaving open the possibility of returning to his beloved land, letting us see that the children of the country profess in the skin so much love as towards a beautiful mother rich in culture. Here I leave you the link to her post.

Venezuela Always Loved
Live outside your land
In this rude present
It was never our longing
We give our lives in this
Fertile zone, prodigal land,
Unique in beauty, natural resources and
Example of greatness in America
Latina, what happened to our love?
Foreign love, far and strange.
If you think your children will forget you and you
They will ignore in their new becoming.
That is impossible because abuse is not yours.
Look at them with joy,
Forgive them, understand them, because they
They will resurface in other lands,
In harmony, sowing the
Love, as they learned from you, with you
Music and culture, and inside in consciousness the
Longing for return and reunion.
Concealing anger and eternal
Anguish; they know that one day all this will be gone.
@jakim7 shares a poem by @saulos. Read on for an enjoyable experience:
Good evening dear family, I recommend reading this beautiful poem written by @saulos, the style of this poem is called imperfect hendecasyllable by its author, it is written under the style of an acrostic, the title I remember a beautiful tango called also FOR A FEW EYES BLACKS. the metrics of this poem and its musicality are of a poet hardened in the depths of loving and wanting, our friend presents us with the coming and going of love that goes away but does not want to go, for which I thank you to consider my recommendation, all receive a strong hug and blessings from on high ...
For black eyes
Maybe you think that by following advice
I forget the sound of your beloved hip
thus breaking the dreamed freedom? ...
Once again you worry me in the distance
denying that you have slept here in my bed
hearing the heart and the courts
on my body when lighting the flame.
Hear me well I say it with ease
I have never seen my being so bent
Hating to love and be so miserable
knowing at last that I lose my sanity.
Deny you that when you turn off the candle
you hide a thousand times you have sinned
thank heaven I keep here by my side
rich promises that you have pronounced well
will occupy my mind what martyrdom
on my face that you have kissed so much.
