Kin

What’s another word for fam’ly?
Kin, nat’rally!

How about when souls link lyrics?
Kindred spirits?

Are there other connections, too?
Jesus, me, you…

I do hope that upon review
You’ll see a relation between
This family both seen and unseen:
Kin, nat’rally, kindred spirits, Jesus, me, you.

(All of these poems for November Poem a Day are rough, but I’d place bets that this one is just plain awful. I did have fun playing with another form, though–this one is the Ovillejo, a form created by Miguel de Cervantes in the late 1500’s. I have a feeling he handled it much more successfully than I have!)
