Poetic Paradise

Posted on March 21, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Poetic Paradise, sleeping, dreaming

Did

You ever

Wonder how

Poets find sleep?

Or what they might think

In those dark night watches?

As they contemplate slumber?

Are their mind’s in calm repose?

How do they enter into somnolence?

Poets count syllables instead of sheep!

Etheree

Armored and Able

Posted on March 20, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Lion sleeping

Believer be aware

Always put on your armor

Wear it daily

The lion sleeps

But he will arise again

So be on guard

Your great adversary

Is as a roaring lion

Wanting to devour

The lion slumbers

But he will again awake

So be wise

Be spirtually ready

Don’t be caught off guard

Always be vigilant

For the devil

Is as a prowling lion

Seeking to devour

Stand against him

Wearing the Armor of God

He will flee.

Word Lunes

(Based on 1 Peter 5:8-9 and Ephesians 6:10-18)

Golden Scales of Justice

Do unto others

As you’d wish them

To do unto you in all things

Practice everyday and you’ll be

A winner

POSSIBLE

Posted on March 18, 2018March 23, 2018 by Leonas Lines

possible
God is:

Promising a good future. It’s
Obtainable and
Securable, if you are
Susceptible and ready to be
Imaginable! Will it be a
Breeze? No, more
Likely it will take hard work. It won’t be
Easy, but it is possible to achieve.

ACROSTIC
Think positive!
With God all things are Possible! (Matthew 19:26)

Hairy Experience

Posted on March 17, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Lady with an 18th century hairstyle, pompadour

Madame de Pompadour

Her hair couldnt fit thru the door

So she sat outside instead

Til birds nested in her head

And caused a great uproar

Regeneration

Posted on March 16, 2018March 23, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Dandelion blowing in the wind

Day by day the same

Routine is like clockwork

Until suddenly came

A fresh wind blowing blessings

Ordinary was no more

Ocean, sand, heart

The words

You speak

Charm me

But then

Your loud

Actions

Erase

Them all

Voice Value

Posted on March 14, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Speech bubble, valuable voice text

Think before you speak

Realize the value of voice

Your words have worth

They can wound and break a heart

Or uplift and heal instead.

Smiley Face on a Hill

Happy Face Hill

Traveler’s delight to see

Nature smiling

Haiku

I actually happened to see this while

my daughter and I were driving back from the Oregon Coast!

Near Willamina, OR. I spotted what looked to be a big happy face high on the hill to my right.

“Is that a Happy Face up there on that hill?” I asked my daughter who replied “It sure looks like it!”

After stopping to take a picture she did an internet search and found an amazing story regarding the Big Smiley which you can read by clicking this link:

Brightness by the Brook

Posted on March 12, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Yellow Flowers

Curious encounter

Of yellow bursts of color

Blooming near the creek

Haiku

I recently came upon these big yellow blooms as I was walking near a small creek. They were just scattered about on the creek’s bank. I am not sure what they are, probably some kind of a lily. They sure brightened up my morning walk!

(If any of you know what they are please let me know in the comment section. Thanks)
