Just a tiny flower
Blooming in an obscure place,
Who would even notice
Its happy smiling cheeful face?
A sadden soul stops and picks.
Tanka
We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do. –Mother Teresa
Category: Poetry Types
Different types and forms of poetry I have written
Led Astray
An active seeker
Searching for hidden treasure
In the wrong area
Senryu
Leaf Legacy
Living
Among shadows
Of the past’s occurances
Alone I face the future
Certain
That my life was not in vain
It was orchestrated
For a purpose
Fulfilled
Butterfly Cinquain
Based on Psalm 138:8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. (ESV)
A Country Divided
Opinions flying
Hit like glass shattering
Causing chaos and strife
Who’s right? Who’s wrong? We debate.
While disunity reigns
Tanka
Copper Rain
Pennies from heaven?
It seems with each worry I find
A coin at my feet.
Haiku
Destination?
Sure of your future?
At the time of detachment
Where will you land?
Senryu
Sign of the Season
Once again the leaves beneath my feet
Remind me of Summer’s recent passing
Some dressed in fall colors
Freshly fallen over night
Not yet devoid of life
Speak of coming days
Full of crisp air
Bringing change
To me and
Them
Reverse Etheree
Summer’s Last Day
Goodbye Summer.
So sad to see you go.
Enjoyed the
Warmth you gave.
I’ll miss your daily presence,
And sunshine and flowers.
Shadorma
Which Gate?
Wide gate
Opens to pleasures,
Worldly fun,
Care-free,
Yet it ends in destruction,
And utter darkness.
Narrow gate
Is chosen by few
Difficult ,
Obstacles,
Yet leads to everlasting life.
Which gate to choose?
Double Shadorma
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13-14
Wet Lands
Flash Floods in the land
Fall has come to Oregon
The rains are back
