Brambles verses barbs
Whether fenced in or out
The vine prevails

Homeless in the City
A million people
A million voices
None speak my name
Two million feet tred
Where I sit
None stop near me
Millions of bright lights
Shining round
I sit in the dark
Syllable Lunes
Squirrel’s Storehouse
Squirrel scampering
Hiding acorns ‘neath
The slumbering vine
Truckload of treasures
Delivers in Winter
Syllabic Verse
🍁The pesky squirrel is back and digging in my plants burying his treasures. He’s cute but I don’t like the fact that he digs in my plants to store his food for winter. 🍂😩
Fragile
Boxes
All shapes
And all sizes
Like people
They hold things inside
Secrets, treasures, dreams
Or maybe unwanted things like
Bitterness, unforgiveness
Handle all boxes with care because
They can be damaged inside and out
Etheree
Stopped
“Out of Order”
The sign said
I didn’t
Like what
I just read
It made me
“Out of Order”
Syllabic Verse
Shopping, rushing to the restroom, stopped by this sign. Stand there and stare blankly for a minute, regroup thoughts, make a plan B and move on.
On a long walk, so thirsty, remember there’s drinking fountain at the park, but a sign says….”Out of Order”–(plan B again)
So tired of walking around the Mall, friend wants to go to the food court on the third level, head to the elevator, but…guess what!!!
I am sure we can all relate to having those “Out of Order” days. They are not fun but they sure slow us down and make us think! 😊
Renewal
Broken
But not destroyed
For a new life emerges
A butterfly hidden within
Revealed
Cinquain
Liberty
I set you free
Said thee to me
How can this be
Said me to thee
Love is the key
You see, said He
Syllabic Verse/Rhyme
Devoid
Yes
I tried
To no avail
I thought and pondered
And racked my brain
Even searched and researched
Yet nothing came to mind
Inspiration hid from my brain
Ideas could not be found anywhere
So I sit here with blank mind and blank paper
Etheree
Lively Leaf
On my walk today
I met very strange chap
Full of energy
Haiku
Love Your Neighbor
Hospitality
Speaks in many languages
Reaches out to those
Who take the time
To stop and listen
Syllabic Verse
On my walk today, just across the way, I stopped to take this photo of a sign in my neighbor’s yard. Something very nice but unfortunately unusual to see nowadays.
