Fingers Speak - Day 7 Freewrite Celebration Contest

in #freewrite6 years ago (edited)

Fingers Speak

Just five fingers on each hand,
Five perfect fingers to touch, handle
to feel.

Feel the soft cheek of a child.
Feel the petals of a rose.
Feel the silky fur of a pet,
the smooth muzze of a horse.

Feel the course grain of wood.
Or wipe a stray tear of remorse.

Five fingers,
two hands gifted to create.

Create a home cooked meal,
paint a work of art,
sketch a landscape or a bird.
or place a single word.

Five small digits
to pound a nail,
build a city or a home.

Five fingers
to hold a weapon to cut down life,
shoot a gun
or pull a bowstring
sending arrows to a mark.

Five fingers to strum an instrument
flooding music to our ears.

Five powerful fingers,
That separate us here.

Five small fingers
to share deep love,
or fill a soul with fear.

This poem is lovely, and the picture is absolutely perfect.

Thank you so much for your comment. Five definitely gave me the inspiration for hands! ;) I'm glad the selfie of us worked, too!

It looks like most of us went there with it too! It’s the “5” we’re all the most familiar with.

I know you are right!

I sure hope that you are including your own poetry in the next digest!!

Thank you for your compliment! I'll try to remember this!

I thought of fingers too :D Fingers capable of creating magic, no? all you need.
Beautiful writing, so full of emotion :D

Oh! I love that! magic, most definitely!

I like how you jumped back and forth on what the hands can do.

Thank you so much for reading and I appreciate your wonderful observation!

Very powerful. <3 It's amazing to realize the power we can have!

Thank you @byn! That small word really carries so much to contemplate!

You are absolutely right, the fingers and hands speak, but as you let it glimpse in your poem, they are powerful tools that allow us to create and build, but also when they are misused, they allow us to punish and destroy. Very beautiful message ... Greetings @ wandrnrose7

Thank you for the compliment and review!

Small they may be but definitely very useful. This is a lovely little poem.

Thank you for the kind compliment!

Love this delicate poem!

Thank you for reading and the kind comment, @marcorciccardi.
