Just counting blessings
At the end of a perfect day
Thankful for my friends

Time For Tea
Tomorrow I’ll be
Hosting a friend’s birthday tea
Count me as absentee
From world negativity
Serving joviality
Tanka/Rhyme
Bit Bewildered
Reading today’s news
Some days are so obscure
Obfuscating words
Senryu
Dictionary.com’s Word for the Day is “Obfuscate”. It seemed very fitting as I read some of today’s news reports.

Let’s spread seeds of love
Fill the universe with love
Wherever we wander

Delectable Confection
Sweet colorful treat
Never before tasted
Gifted by neighbor
Delight to the eyes as well as
Tantilizing to palate
Tanka
Where Am I?
Sometimes wonder
Where I do reside.
Living life daily
In different worlds,
Virtual and real.
Social Media,
News, Televison,
Websites,and books.
Asleep and awake,
I am a sojourner.
Syllabic Verse
Love is Kind
Love is kind, it thinks before speaking
Harsh words that damage tender hearts.
Love speaks kindness with a soft voice
That sooths hurting emotions.
Love has compassion
Love builds up others
Love is giving
Love cares
Love is
Kind

Today is National “Love is Kind” Day.
I think it’s a day we should celebrate every day!

Everyday Life
While the world is falling apart
My neighbors and I are building
Relationships, gardens, and ideas
In our little corner of the world
We are making the most of each day
That we have to build friendships and
Create beauty while we can
No not burying our heads in the sand
But focusing on the positive
And ignoring negativity
We live sensibly in unity
Praying, trusting in theLord and doing good
Syllabic Verse
Carpe Diem
Are you
Fashioning some
Ordinary moments
Into remarkable junctures
Today?

Artist’s Coping Technique
Covered in paper and paste
I walk through a forest of canvas
As I ponder my next step
Lost in the world of art
Deep in pools of paint
I use a brush
To blot out
The daily
News
