Different types and forms of poetry I have written
Floating in the air
My thoughts can soon
Manifest actions
Syllable Lune
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he...
Proverbs 23:7 KJV
Be careful with your thoughts.
“brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy–meditate on these things.”
Philippians 4:8 NKJV
Monotone message
Conquering the boredom
Doodling on my hand
Senryu
I joined an art challenge this month on #Instagram called #Sketchtember and today’s prompt was to sketch a hand so I decided to try sketching a 3D hand plus do some doodling on it while I was listening to a lecture on writing poetry for a poetry class I am in.
Thus, the result was this poem and art I am posting today 😊.
?–Have you ever tried #doodling or #sketching as a challenge, or as a way to overcome boredom?

I see
A Great White Throne
And One who sits on it
Heaven and Earth flee from His face
Judgment
Cinquain
Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. Revelation 20:11

Step by step
You will make it soon
Fortitude
Certitude
Determined steps always
Keep moving forward
Shadorma
This poem is based on an experience I had this summer where I faced a block walk up a steep hill, i had already walked nearly 4 miles, it was a hot day, I had no water with me, there was no place to stop and rest. I was tempted to quit, turn around, give up, but I didn’t and I am glad. It was difficult but I made it, slowly, one step at a time. And, as I look back now that was one of my best days, as I felt I had accomplished something that at the time seemed impossible.
Sometimes life is that way. Sometimes we want to just quit, give up, stop caring, stop trying, for just getting through the day seems like we are walking up a steep hill, with no place to stop and take a break, no refreshment or reprieve in sight, but if we keep moving forward, slowly, we will make it—one step at a time.
Never. Ever. Give Up.
In the Fall season of life
It seems the sun wanes,
It’s lost its strength.
It doesn’t cast warm rays as long,
Nor with as great intensity,
As when in its summer season
Of life.
Then it was so bright and strong,
Vibrant, heated, remaining long,
But now it’s lost it’s fervor.
Yet, it still shines.
It still rises.
It still does what it was created to do.
It gives light,
Even though limited.
It doesn’t give up.
It shows up.
Do you?

Don’t believe all you see
Things aren’t always as they seem
What looks real may not be
Don’t believe all you see
Could be false or reality
Could be true or just a dream
Don’t believe all you see
Things aren’t always as they seem
Triolet
My mom used to always say “Don’t believe anything you read and only half of what you see”.
I was reminded of this today as I took a photo last night of the left over cooled grease on my grill. I had cooked a hamburger for supper and when I went to clean the grill the grease and bits of leftover cheese had formed an interesting pattern, I thought, so I snapped a picture and just for fun put the image into one of the photo enhancing apps I have to see what would result if I edited it a bit.
The result was quite awesome!
What transformed was somewhat of a celestial looking image I thought. Certainly not something that looked like grease and cheese on a grill! 😊
Goes to show mom was right. Things aren’t always as they seem or look like.
What do you think?
Once again
Autumn visits us
Abounding
In color
Leaves fall at her entrance
Blushing from her touch
Shadorma
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. —Albert Camus
Sunflowers bowing
Clouds shed tears
Summer’s final day

Acrostic
Choices create it
Happenings cause it
Anxiety is often its result
No one is immune to it
Good often comes from it
Everyone will experience it
