Demons love to lounge and blame and curse beneath a pretty sky.
With ugly words they seek to maim. Demons love to lounge and blame. Avoid them when they’re taking aim. Reject the shameless words that fly.
Demons love to lounge and blame and curse beneath a pretty sky.

Denise offers the prompt word “lounge” to be used in this week’s Six Sentence Stories. As a poem I posted this on Poet’s Corner.

Very good! This is it: “Avoid them when they’re taking aim.”
Thankful for the power of the Holy Spirit.

Nice bit of poetry, Frank. Brings to mind those individuals who, for whatever reason, feel as if hurting another will somehow make themselves feel better. Best to walk away, and not get caught in the crossfire of their barbs.

In those situations it is best to walk away. Thank you, Denise!

They seek to devour, it’s the reason to put on the full armor every day and remember it’s a war that never lets up on this side.

Good point about putting on the full armor mentioned in Ephesians. Thank you, Mimi!
I enjoyed your descriptive story of a restless night wonderfully filled with prayer. In Jesus’ name may all the illnesses you described be healed.

*not only the ‘content’ but the style. It’s no secret how much we like the ‘way of saying’ as much as the ‘what of saying’
ok… I’m not sure, but I’m hoping the correct rhetorical device here is ‘anaphora’ rather than repetition. Mostly ’cause ‘anaphora’ sounds more bad-assed

Actually this is a poetic form called a “triolet” I formatted it into paragraphs, but here is a description of the form: https://poets.org/glossary/triolet I am glad you liked it. Thank you, Clark!

Great poem, Frank. Ugly, shameless words do have power, and we genuinely do need to avoid them.

Demons can be hard to recognise as many a victim has discovered.

They are hard to recognize. Sometimes we let them in which makes them even harder to see. Best wishes and blessings, Keith!

Strong form, Frank!
And true, too.
Btw, the repeated phrase could easily be the refrain from a song.

The form is a triolet. I suspect it may have been used as song lyrics. Thank you, Nick!
