Quatrain Exercise

Soothsayer
In the sprain of my mind
your words are a soft, lightly woven gauze.
I have always doubted feeling good.
An ache of coming days. a mere pause


Churches
In the God of my mind
your silence is a sour prayer.
I was eleven when I stopped believing,
creating worlds we might die in.

***
Steps:

First line: Fill in the blank:
..................In the __________ of my mind
Second line: Write a phrase/sentence combining two or more senses (Synesthesia).
Third line: Write a factual statement.

scribble

In the plait of my mind,
your face is etched, carved like a bust.
i really felt like crying.
go out and see, see the sun once more.
