Focus On The Light
Where ere your journey
Or your pathway might take you
Keep moving forward
Stay focused on reaching
The end of your tunnel
Where you’ll find your freedom’s light
Don’t let obstacles
Detour or delay your purpose
Set your face like flint
Choka
Rainbow
A delight to the eye
Primary colored
Panorama on high
Ruba’i, Syllabic Verse
The Sound of Rain
Rain
Can be
A nightmare
Or a blessing
Situational
Depending on location
A beautiful sound to some
An unwelcome nightmare to others
May God’s hand direct it’s course for you
Etheree
Fire’s Aftermath
Plight of the forest
A terrain caked in ash
Smoke filled air
Choked by blackened trees
Smoldering and empty of life
Tanka
Tree’s Lament
I am a tree
I am a living thing
I hurt when fire touches me
I am a tree
From fire i cannot flee
Nor any protection bring
I am a tree
I am a living thing
Triolet
A Cry for Mercy
“No more rain Lord”
A wet flooded Houston crys
“Rain Lord, we need rain ”
Oregonians praying
Wildfires raging
And flood waters displacing
Elements ignore
Our Nation is on its knees
May God’s mercy be upon us
Choka
Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. Psalm 33:22
Flight Lessons
Mama bird teaching
Baby birds the art of flying
Just “a piece of cake”
Haiku
Haiku Horizons Weekly Challenge Week#184 Prompt: Cake
( The saying “a piece of cake” means something that’s simple to accomplish. )
Fires and Floods
Wildfires, Flooding
Displacing many from homes
Natural disasters
Elements out of control
Need divine intervention
Tanka
September Acrostic
School days enter causing the
Exit of Summer fun days
Pupils moan
Teachers groan
Each must return to work
Mom’s smile and sigh
Buses awaken for daily runs
Everyone checks their schedules
Rushing replaces resting
Acrostic
