Leaves falling, roses
Still clinging to summer’s warmth,
Utter grand encore

Save the Coral
Oh so far away
A precious gift is dying
Bleaching is taking
It’s beautiful color
As sediments smother
And chemicals cause harm
Coral Reefs need help
What can we possibly do
To help save the Coral?
Choka

Living Alphabetically
Appreciate beauty
Be present daily
Color your world with kindness
Decide to be positive
Encourage others to grow
Focus on today
Give smiles freely
Help those in need
Imagine great things
Jostle yourself to live life fully
Keep on making everyday count
Let the past remain there
Make everyday new
Notice nice little things
Open your mind to new opportunities
Ponder possibilities
Quickly forgive others
Valiantly seize the day
Walk in peace with purpose
X out all negativity
Yoke yourself to Christ
Zoom in on peace and happiness

Worth?
Some thoughts are worth
More than just a penny.
That’s just my two cents
Senryu
Based on the idioms: “ A Penny For Your Thoughts” and “Putting In My Two Cents”
Simultaneous Sights and Sounds
Last night
The sun painted
The western sky orange red,
While fingers plucked harp strings
Inside.
Soothing sounds enveloped my ears,
Drowning out the darkness
Of reality
Outside.
A home
Just blocks away,
While my ears heard sweet words,
Others were being torn apart
Inside,
As the blackness of a cold heart,
Unleased its bitterness,
Drowning a soul
In tears.
Double Butterfly Cinquain
I’m More Than What You See
Do you like me,
My mind, my thoughts inside?
Respect me
Internally,
Or the shell which I reside?
I’m more than that.
Shadorma
“Homeless-Single Mom”
Sitting on concrete,
Her only firm foundation.
Thin white hands held
A small cardboard rectangle,
Instead of two little girls.
Tanka
PEACE
Peace, be still, Jesus said
Endeavor to keep unity in the Spirit
And let the peace of God dwell in you
Cover yourself with His Armor and
Equip yourself to walk in His peace
Acrostic
Now the God of peace be with you all.
Romans 15:33 KJV
Sudden Change
Thoughts rolling around wildly
Chaos replaces status quo
Apple cart upset
Senryu
“upset the apple cart” meaning: wreck an advantageous project or disturb the status quo.
The use of a cart piled high with apples as a metaphor for a satisfactory but possibly precarious state of affairs is recorded in various expressions from the late 18th century onwards.

Dorian
Prayers out sent to cover
Those its fury hath touched
Prayers sent up to gather
And bring winds of change
Turning the path’s course
To remain at sea
Syllabic Verse
Prayers for those in the Bahamas who are facing the destruction of Dorian’s wrath at this time.
Praying it’s fury will be lessened and it’s path turned out to sea so it will not make landfall anywhere else.
