Each day I can learn
Something new if I only
Use my five senses

Each day I can learn
Something new if I only
Use my five senses

Ah, the sounds of Fall.
Birds gathering to fly south,
Chatter as they flock,
And the trees rustle their leaves,
In tune with the wind’s music.

Dinner with grandsons
Serving love, hope, dreams, laughter
Sharing more than food
All of us leave satisfied
Quality family time

In an attractive cloth bag
Freshly picked apples
A fall culinary treat
A gift from a friend
Sharing her bounty
Apple pie
Soon!
Epulaeryu

(This is my first attempt at writing a Epulaeryu. It was a fun challenge!
I want to thank Daisy Mariposa for her excellent Hub on Poetry Forms
for that is where I first learned of this Epulaeryu poetry style.
And, of course, my friend Bonnie, for the lovely apples which inspired me to write this!)
Penny in my path
Reminds of God’s provision
Grateful for His care

A word
Spoken timely
Has power to create
A new life or renew a hope
Speak life
Restore
Life with words of encouragement
Use words as building blocks
See broken dreams
Revived

I’ve no words within.
No thoughts and nothing to say.
My mind is quite blank.
I just sit and stare and wait,
For inspiration doesn’t come.

Thankful!
Healing has come!
So sick of being sick!
Appreciating restored health
And life!

Beautiful fall day
Artistically painted trees
In various hues
Beckon me to pause awhile
And my five senses rejoice
