Opaque objects
We sit outside sharing lunch
Our shadows join us

Different types and forms of poetry I have written
A Sunny Ground Hog Day
Sunshine!
Is so Divine!
Except it brings shadows,
Which scare animals I suppose.
Ground Hog,
Outside.
He ran to hide.
Saw his shadow today,
And it made him not want to play.
Winter!

Winter Sky
Whitest
Brightest
Puffy
Fluffy
Clouds are the whitest brightest I’ve seen
Such a pretty puffy fluffy scene

You, so fresh and new,
We welcomed into our lives
Only one month ago.
You gave us a brand new year.
Now you leave us forever.

The Time is…Now
Another
January
Will be leaving me soon
Each year months seem to go by faster
Time flies

Damp Day
Rains arrive once more
While we run to dodge raindrops
Thirsty nature rejoices

Life’s Workout
Barriers
Life’s obstacles
Restraining our progress
Each day we strive to overcome
Hindrances
Pitfalls
Happenings that cause us delays
Things that get in our way
Daily obstructions
Challenges

Fleeting Time
January 26
Remembering the countdown
How quickly New Years age

It’s National Opposites Day!
Shall I say goodbye when I mean hello?
And should I stay when I really want to go?
On this day of opposites,
Does anyone know what really fits?
If I say what I mean,
Will I mean what I say?
Oh Lord help me make it through this crazy day!
Perhaps it would be better to stay in bed,
And just skip this day instead,
But if sunrise is sunset, it’s over before it begins,
So I shall just play along ’til it ends!
