Purple petal bloom
How exquisite you are
Such a grand designer
Fashioned you with His word
And dressed you in royalty

Tanka poems
Traveling Time
Trying to hold it back
But Time wont wait for me
It just wants to flee
It’s Seconds keep on running
No, Time won’t wait for me
Tanka
Pretense
All thunder, no rain
Sky threatens, yet the sun shines
Like Politics
Often all talk and no action
Actions speak louder than words
Tanka
Unexpected Visit
Hope like a feather
Fell upon my heart today
Drifted from above
Settled quietly within
A pile of forgotten dreams

May 24th
England’s Holiday
Celebrating a Queen!
“Victoria Day”
I honor her, plus the two
Victorias in my life!
Tanka
Surrounded by Roses
Purple, Red and White
Rose is a Rose, is a Rose
In my backyard
The City of Roses displays
Her colorful blooms for all
Tanka
Fruitful
I’m seeking to live
A life that shows forth joy
In all circumstances
Filled with the Christ’s fragrance
And the fruit of His Spirit
Tanka
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22,23
In Honor of Lost Socks
No sock left behind
Remember those lost socks
That served you well
Whether white, red, grey, black
Honor them on this day in May
Tanka
No Sock Left Behind: things you can do with that one mismatched sock. Donate mismatched socks to:
Help Restore Sight in Poor Communties
Help the Homeless-The Joy of Sox
Or get Crafty and make something with them
Not Stepping Stones
The stones of life
Large or small, can trip you up
Choose your steps with care
Think before you place your foot
Stones are everywhere
Tanka
Be Careful Who You Listen To
Nothing can be done
I overheard them all say
But God said “No Way!
For the battle will be won!
Listen to Me and not to they”
Tanka
