Two Poems A Day1

One hundred and seven days
to write one hundred and sixty four poems:
Is this possible?

Withe the help of Baha'u'llah
and the Bab,
I believe it is.

If I write two poems a day
it will take me eighty-two days,
that will give me twenty-five days
to review what I have written
to celebrate
the Bicentenary of the Birth of the Bab.

Gratitude List for 1 Kalimát

Today I am thankful ...
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn.
          ...for fresh brewed black coffee.
          ...that is is a pleasant morning and I can keep the door open for a little while to hear the birds cheeping and cooing.
          ...for the chocolate chip cookie I had to go with my coffee this morning.
          ...that I have $18.14 in my Inbox Dollars account.
