Sea breeze.
Gulls cry above.
Waves softly rolling,
Covering footprints in the sand.
Ocean
Sights and sounds delight weary soul,
Seeking tranquility,
Refreshing life,
Anew.

World Overview
Quickly jotted notes
Faceless friends and family
Life passing by
Living in a timeclock
Checking Apple’s watch
Running life’s racetrack
In a zombie world
Filled with roads to nowhere
Lonely souls needing God.

May Day
The time has come
May’s skirts rustle as she tiptoes
Through the dancing tulips
Sowing seeds of florescence
Carpeting the world with flowers

Among springtime’s treasures

Among garden beauties
Aroused from winter’s sleep

Poem Dweller
Today
I live in a dictionary
With words as house mates
We’re building
Together
A poem
Called Meta
Composed of verses
It alphabetically speaks
In words
Reverse Mirror Cinquain/Meta poem

#NaPoWriMo 2019–Day 27–Prompt: You can pick a line you like from one of Shakespeare’s sonnets and use it as the genesis for a new poem.
(I chose Sonnet 06 “Then let not winter’s ragged hand deface” as my inspiration)
Living Life
Living in an imperfect world
With imperfect people
As we struggle to survive
Searching for answers
With imperfect people
We walk, talk and dwell
Searching for answers
Only God can help us achieve
We walk, talk and dwell
Climbing mountains
Only God can help us achieve
Are we willing to trust Him?
Climbing mountains
Living in an imperfect world
Are we willing to trust Him?
As we struggle to survive

#NaPoWriMo 2019–Day 26–Prompt: Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that uses repetition.
Spring Senses
Waking to the sound
Of a dove’s soft cooing,
My sleepy eyes delight
At sunshine, and the morning
Sounds of baby birds.
Taste awakening anew,
I touch life boldly
Smelling it’s fragrant winds that
Promise new life again.
Choka
#NaPoWriMo 2019–Day 25–Prompt: write a poem about a specific season using all five senses
Raconteur
The quill speaks
Of days long ago.
In quivering
Quotations
It tells of quotidian
Events radiantly.
Shadorma
