Wishes: A Golden Shovel 1/31

I know it is March 1st, but I can't let February go by without writing something about leap year. 

In my writing group we have a monthly writing challenge. Some months it is a daily challenge, while others may be a weekly or a one-time challenge. We have written fiction, memoirs, all types of poetry, and even riddles.

For February we chose to write a Golden Shovel but added a little twist for leap year--the line had to come from Shakespear's Sonnet 29. We called the challenge A Golden Leap. And it was definitely a leap for me! 

Here is the line I used:  Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,

Wishes

I threw a penny in the fountain, wishing

for love to find me.

Instead of love, grace falls like

rain from the sky to

the ground--protecting my heart, one

beat, two beats, three times more

Showing me how rich

 I am, not in love, but in

hope.

Here's to 31 days of writing! Here's to wishing for words to find me!
