As part of my devotions to Hela, I read a poem to Her each morning. I have seen more than one source say She enjoys poems as offerings, and it’s also good for my soul to start the day with some verse. I’m posting them here on my blog as a means of inspiring others who might be searching for some verse for their soul. I hope you enjoy\u00a0today’s poem.<\/p>\n

\nIn the Spring sunshine.
\nTheir names are written in beautiful characters
\nAnd posted in order of merit.
\nHow I hate this silk dress
\nThat conceals a poet.
\nI lift my head and read their names
\nIn a powerless envy.<\/p>\n
