Like golden stars
Leaves scattered in my yard
Brighten a Fall day

Your Vestige
Time and life will take their toll.
They will leave a lasting imprint.
What is to be your end goal?
Time and life will take their toll.
The body dies but not the soul.
Consider this as you do your stint.
Time and life will take their toll,
They will leave a lasting imprint.
Triolet
Purpose
Purpose
Of a Lampost.
To stand, uphold the Light.
At all times, in all seasons,
It stands,
Strong, sure, supporting the Light .
It’s purpose isn’t to shine,
But to stand firm,
Always.
Butterfly Cinquain
Who am I?
I am a million thoughts,
Images and feelings,
Held together by hopes,
Dreams and will.
I am a broken heart,
Mending.
A dreamer, chasing.
A child, exploring.
I am youth and old age,
Combined in mind and body,
Held together by God.
Free Verse
Ephemeral Joy
In the days of my youth
When time was of no essence
No thoughts for the morrow
Entered my lofty world
As I grew vibrantly
In the fresh breezes of life
Enjoying the sun’s kiss
Until touched by Autumn’s breath
I felt the brevity of life
Choka
De Icer
Homeless eyes see
Ice on the windshield of life
Be the sun that melts
Haiku
Falling Backwards
Why every November
We who are forward thinking
Must now turn back time
Senryu
Another Change
Tonight
Another change
Time falls back an hour
Tomorrow will seem different
Again
Cinquain
Searching for Inspiration
Uninspired, and I’m trying to write.
Who, What, When, Why, Where?
Why are some days such a fight?
Uninspired, and I’m trying to write,
But just a blank page is in my sight.
You know, some days just aren’t fair!
Uninspired, and I’m trying to write,
Who, What, When, Why, Where.
Triolet
Believe!
The Promise is true
Though sometimes it seems faint
Hint of a rainbow
Showing thru the clouds above
Reminds of His constant love
