The Power of Innocence

Each week author Ronovan Hester hosts a Haiku Poetry Prompt. This week's challenge uses these two words: goddess and worship. Perhaps you'd like to know more about Haiku. If so, just click on Ronovan's name, and you'll be taken to his site and to his explanation of this art form.

My poem focuses on the power of innocence, seen most recently in the March For Our Lives movement.

I love the strength and innocence in the little girls eyes that fits your words perfectly...She walks head held high. Beautiful.

Given the look on that little girl's face, she could well be imagining herself as a goddess, worshiped and adored. Beautiful Haiku and image, Gwen ❤
