Have You Seen a Miracle Lately?

Photo © by Chris Alba


Miracles come in all shapes and sizes.

Acts of God, the unexpected gift, a small moment suddenly huge with wonder.

Please write a poem about a miracle you've witnessed. You have all week. Those of us who want to jam with other poets will be back, checking regularly as the days go by, to share the music of our combined voices.

  1. Gee, I hope Mr. Linky appears. He was having a cache-flow issue at 2:25 a.m.

  5. My miracle poem was definitely on the light-hearted side, but a miracle I'm grateful for nonetheless.

  7. Chris, I have written an honest poem, which is all that I can ever do. I truly try so very hard to believe in miracles. I am a believer.

  8. Rae Ann Hoehn, I cannot get to your poem. So often there is an issue. Please take a look at what you post, and make sure it heads to what you want comments on.

  10. Miracle is always a great word to contemplate and write about. I actually suggested it as an upcoming prompt over at OSI, a couple of weeks ago. Great minds...Happy Week, G
