Have you ever been passionate about something? I mean, like vehemently. I feel like this time in my life is a time of new beginnings. It’s become a fire in me.
It’s been a while since I’ve written an original poem following a poetry form. I had to give my try at this quadrille after reading a fellow bloggers post over at A Reader Writr. The poem is in response to a prompt over at dversepoets.
So, back to my question to you: Have you ever been passionate about something? If so, what?
I’m just a simple girl that is passionate about being relevant and making a difference in this world.
World traveler, lover of bright sunny days, experiencing cultures, good friends and conversation. I love my God and love my family.
I don’t believe that I have the Truth, but that I have a relationship with Truth and want to be closer to Him.
Canadian, born and raised in Vancouver, BC. YWAMer since 2000 and have traveled and lived all over the world –Hong Kong, China, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Afghanistan, Turkey, Germany, Argentina, Australia and The USA.
I moved to Brazil in 2002, married an awesome “Baiano”, Daniel, and we have two adorable kiddies, Caue and Hannah.
I am certified in fitness and nutrition and conducted physical conditioning classes while working with an arts and evangelism team and schools. I am also certified in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and TEYL (Teaching English to Young Learners).

I adore the poem and your brilliant art work! 😍😍. I am always passionate about almost everything 😄😄. But lately it has been about nature preservation, anti-racism, and a story I am writing about…well..about Happiness! 😊😊
I have to smile Trini. You are one person that I KNOW has a lot of passion. Great things to be passionate about too: Nature preservation and anti-racism. You must tell me more about your story. Are you going to post it?
🙂 ❤
I’ve yet to be super passionate about one thing. So many people and things are of most importance, but my passion…time hasn’t given me the luxury of finding out yet. Your work is lovely, Staci.
Really? You seem to have a good amount of passion in you Audrey. Your writing oftentimes expresses it.
Thank you so much for your lovely compliment and comment.
🙂 ❤
carte postale, République Française, Tour Eiffel… wow!!! btw, I lived in Paris for several years and our 2 kids were born there, so to me Paris is now and always, à la vie, à la mort… ❤

your poem would sound nicely in French, too… 😉 bonne continuation! 🙂
Melanie, that must have been amazing to live in Paris. I almost had the opportunity to go in September/October last year, but it didn’t fit well into my schedule.
I would love to know how the poem would be in French. I’m sure it would sound like music.
Thanks so much Melanie and please have a lovely weekend.
🙂 ❤
le verbe
pénètre mon esprit
caché dans mon coeur
brille à travers mes yeux
pimente le terne
écrit sur mon visage
respiré par mon âme
des gouttes de couleur
la mort de soi
sent comme de nouveaux commencements,
un désir ardent
une attente passionnée
qui engendre la vie…

yes, Paris is and will always be amazingly UNIQUE… 🙂
