Red of Green Gables
In the world there are more than 8 billion stories in a day. They are all written in a code I have not yet cracked.
But I’m getting closer:
Red Head Pei
A kindred spirit is found
Across the sea
A country girl plays on an island
With a noble name
Nova Scotia means new Scotland
But she gave it the meaning of new love and faith
Although storms hit strong
She made up her mind to enjoy this life
Looking up to pray
Her eyes opened to kindred spirits all around
The winter didn’t last forever
Seas began to sparkle
Trees glistened with a new light
And she listened with all her might
A new song sang in her soul
Her dream came back to sight
Faithfulness kept her from the pond of despond
Lifting her hand as she walked on the sand
The Sea may turn again
But she is ready
Much younger now
Younger than before
The sea is a gift
She sits on a swing to play
And watches the waves
I’m pretty sure @redheadpei has made more comments on my posts than any other person I know. It takes some time to know her and her story but her wisdom and kind words have encouraged me so many times.
I will continue to write a poem for all of you. It doesn't matter if you are a whale or dolphin or minnow. I will include all of you and keep writing until there is a poem dedicated to each one of you because I see the individual in Steemit is what makes this platform go around.
This poem is for day 84 in the 100 day poetry competition @d-pend.(Steemschool Discord)

QTTA: (QUESTION TO THINK ABOUT)
What do you hear when you visit the sea?
I love you all.
For amazing adventure in English please follow @mineopoly mining the heart.
Anne of Green Gables is close to just about every Canadian girl's heart. You have honoured her well with this fine verse, Mineopoly:)
Thanks @prydefoltz... For me I keep blogging because I get some real feedback. If my SP increases that's is a bonus.
Another lovely poem! Now I need to go check out her blog!
She is really sweet. I'm surprised she didn't see this post yet. I think you two would make perfect friends except for the more than 1000 miles between you.
STOPI love that you are finishing this challenge by writing poems for those that have touched you on here. The others I have read have all been great, but this one has such a sweetness and innocence to it, you really capture a child like spirit in this one. You have created such lovely imagery with your words, I especially love this
You really are describing that fight, that fire that someone has to just never give up and believe which for me is such a great quality to carry with you from childhood.
and this is very beautiful
You really captured that change over of the seasons and the appreciation of those who live close to the land feel.
I do not know @redheadpei but you have definitely done her a great honour, here in this poem. What a lovely gift you have created for her. Well done @mineopoly
Thank you for following @trucklife-family. I can guess she is too shy to comment but she is really cool. Her story is her own and on purpose I did not mention it here. I like poems because I can write more indirectly.
Thank you for your comment. Have a great day.
CARROTS!
Hahahaha!! Are you going to put her hair in the ink now? Watch out she will break your slate.
I recently rewatched it with my kids. I'm gonna have to buy it on DVD. It's a must have.
Beautiful work, @mineopoly. A hug!
Thank you @zeleiracordero. I'm glad this poem reached your heart.
