The wind around me rages
March is practicing
For her arrival
Tree branches swaying
Weaker ones hurl
As if in protest
To being awakened
From a winter’s sleep

Different types and forms of poetry I have written
Morning Walk
A spring in my step
On pink and white pathways
Cherry blossom time
Haiku
My daughter’s cherry tree was in full bloom today! So pretty! So uplifting to see!
Springtime Awakenings
Enjoying the new life
Springing up all around me
Singing and dancing
With the birds and daffodils
Shaking off winter doldrums
Tanka
Spring Sights, Sounds and Smells
Green shoots popping up,
Patches of yellow abound,
Spring has come again!
Haiku
I felt like Chicken Little today as everywhere I went I kept saying “ Spring is here! Spring is here!”
It may not say Spring yet on the calendar but it was very present all around my area today.
I was seeing patches of yellow daffodils in my neighbors yards and green shoots of more to come soon, hearing birds singing and lawnmowers humming, smelling fresh cut grass and enjoying the bright sunshine! What a delightful change from the damp, dark, cold days of winter!
Yes, Spring weather is here and I am enjoying every moment of it!
Morning Thoughts
What will this day bring?
Birds begin to sing,
What a cheerful sound!
Signs of Spring abound.
Daffodils in bloom,
Chase winter’s gloom.
Winter’s letting go,
My heart’s all aglow!
Syllabic Rhyme
Sometimes…
Sunsets like life,
End suddenly, shocking us
With bursts of color,
Or subtlely fade away
With faint hues of calm repose.
Tanka
Trash to Treasure
Trash to me
Treasure to her
Just made neighbor’s day
And mine so much better by
Sharing
Cinquain
Spring cleaning reveals un-wanted items in my closet that become just the thing my neighbor needs.
Be a Sunflower
Seeking better days,
With some sunshine in life?
Looking for the light?
Are you standing in the sun
Or sitting in the shadows?
Tanka
“If you want light to come into your life, you need to stand where it is shining.” —Guy Finley
“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.” —Helen Keller
Rainy Reflections
Nature’s paintbrush
Uses oil and water mix
Concrete canvas
Haiku
I captured this photo today as I was walking out of a store.
It was a very rainy day today but for just a short time the rain let up and the sun came out and that is the time I usually see oil slicks in parking lots.
Well this image stopped me in my tracks because it was not only a pretty oil slick but it was also reflecting a nearby tree in it which I thought made a beautiful scene.
Love Eternal
Let us love one another as
Our savior loved us. He gave us
Victory over sin and death plus
Eternal life.
Acrostic
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.” -Jesus John 13:34
