25 The Found Poetry Project

Zeus looking into a jar
Ai Midjourney

Ascetic

Hurling a thunderbolt,
this devine creation,
without anger.

Impassionate as a confession.

Ascetic.
Simple.

Hold a spoon,
or eat with a fork,

and be filled by rare
fragrance
and incense.

  3. Great image. Evocative verse with which you can reflect for a timeless moment. Have you ever wondered how God views us as we go about our daily routines?

    1. No, can’t say I have, Roland. I reckon he has more challenging tasks needing his attention than watching me stir spaghetti sauce in a slow cooker. xx

      1. Sometimes I think he watches us amused as when we watch puppies at play. 🙂

        1. I hope he has a sense of humour when we chew on the chair legs and shred shoes.
