Oft times nestle?
Or sometimes wrestle?
A broken vessel?
Not feeling very special?
Run to God, He’s your trestle

Echinated
In the thistle patch
With nettlesome thoughts
Eeyore kind of day
Syllabic Verse
Garden Royalty
Non-edible crown
The blossom of the thistle
Conceals a soft heart
Haiku
They Said—I Said
They said “Just give in”
They said “You’ll never get far”
They said “ You won’t win”
They said “Just give in”
They said “ Don’t even begin”
They said “Who you think you are?”
They said “Just give in”
They said “You’ll never get far”
I said “ I won’t give in”
I said “ I’ll make it someday”
I said “ I will soon win”
I said “ I won’t give in”
I said “ I will begin”
I said “ I will soon find a way”
I said “ I won’t give in”
I said “ I’ll make it someday”
Double Triolet
Written to all the Naysayers from a Yaysayer
“Never Ever Give Up!” “Stand Tall” “Grow”
(When I saw this huge tall tree on my walk the other day these thoughts came to mind)
Monotonous Motion
Questioning my purpose
Walking everyday
And yet I’m going nowhere
On the treadmill of life
Need to stop and get off
That sad revolving belt
Get out in the real world
Find new paths to walk on
New voices to listen
To, and new faces to see
Realize I’m in control
Of where my feet step
I need to choose wisely
And plan future paths
Syllabic Verse
Sunflowers
Such a cheerful group
Heads up, looking to the sun
Ever Optimists
Haiku
Cruising McMinnville
Ah
Tonight
In my mind
And in my heart
I was young again
I visited the past
Rode down memory lane
Remembered the days of old
While standing on the streets of now
Reverse Nonet
Tonight our hometown had a classic car show and cruise, and I had the pleasure of not only watching all those beautiful cars that I remember from my past drive around,
but also had the opportunity to ride in one!
I began driving in 1960 and I was blessed to have owned many of those cars that are now called “classic”. (And I wish I still had some of them now!😊)
But it was such fun to not only see them all cruising around but to also be able to do so with my 18 year old grand-daughter who owns a 1985 RX-7.
Fun night! Great old and new memories!
MONEY
Must have this.
One thing that is
Necessary for
Everything on earth
You plan to do.
Acrostic
As I was talking with a couple of my grandkids today, and listening to each of them tell me about their future hopes and dreams, this came to mind—MONEY.
Each plan, each action, each dream, they had depended on money. Money to finance a patent on an idea. Money to pay for a trademark, business promotion, etc, etc.
It is sad but true. So much of our future life depends on money, yet with God all things are possible, for He does not depend on money.
So I tell them if their plans, hopes and dreams are in line with what God has purposed for them, then He will make a way for it all to happen.
And with that knowledge and belief, they and any believer, can trust and expect that their future will be a good one that honors God and fulfills their dreams as well.
…The generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches will be in his house,… Psalm 112:2-3
“…with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26
Rosa Rosaceae
I think that I shall
Never see
Any one so lovely
Syllable Lune
On my walk this evening I saw this beautiful rose in bloom in a yard I was passing by. It seemed to be glowing in the evening sunlight. I could not just pass it by without taking a photo. I just love its multi colors. Such beauty needs to be remembered!
