The rising of the morning’s jewel, the sun,
wakes me up today.
Reborn I walk by grace
following the way.
Eugenia offers the word “jewels” for this week’s prompt.
The syllable count (10,5,6,5) for this poem comes from a form created by Myrna Migala to imitate the pattern found in the name Yahweh (yod -10, yeh-5, vav-6, hey-5) and a similar pattern found in DNA. Since the letter ה was used twice I added the rhyme pattern ABCB.
I just found out that RevivedWriter has provided another example of this stanza form in her poem “Staunch Support”.


How glorious it is to be reborn and be able to follow the way of Jesus.
Great poem and photos. Thanks!

I have no aptitude for poetry, so all I can do is sit back and be impressed. Which I am.

I am making a note of your observation how you explained it so well and we will call it the Ubeny form. Nothing more, nothing less, the Ubeny form of poetry.

I am glad you love poem. Thank you for bringing my attention back to that video. I saw it on MeWe some time ago, but did not understand what the DNA pattern was that matched the name of Yahweh. I’m still sorting that out but I think I see it counting the connectors in this video (see the graphic at 0:34) :

Frank, I loved your idea of rhyming the two lines to ABCB so I edited mine to rhyme also. Thanks for your suggestion.
revivedwriter rhymed hers too!
