Minutes flew by
Busy hands and minds collab
Creating art with grand-daughter
Senryu
Even though outside it was another cloudy, chilly, rainy day, inside my craft room it was sunny, warm and cheerful!
My grand-daughter came over this afternoon to participate in another art collaboration project with me and we had so much fun sharing ideas, chatting and creating. She inspired me, as I did her and we both ended up with projects we were really happy with!
Fun day!
So much that’s new
So much to do
So much to say
So much to pray
Syllabic Verse
Take time to pray
Prayer is man’s greatest power!
Time to Pray
I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn’t have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me,
and heavier came each task.
“Why doesn’t God help me?” I wondered.
He answered, “You didn’t ask.”
I wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on, gray and bleak;
I wondered why God didn’t show me.
He said, “But you didn’t seek.”
I tried to come into God’s presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
“My child, you didn’t knock.”
I woke up early this morning,
and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I had to take time to pray.

Hurraying to work
Just not enough hours in the day
Stop and smell the roses
Haiku
Not a moment to spare
Life’s just so busy
To do lists everywhere
Not a moment to spare
Running here and there
Life’s in a tizzy
Not a moment to spare
Life’s just so busy
Triolet
Charming bench,
A place to rest
In quiet peace,
Never used.
Though many pass by everyday,
None have time.

So much I want to do
I’m trying to do too much
Minutes just too few
So much I want to do
Deadlines coming due
And dreams seem out of touch
So much I want to do
I’m trying to do too much
Triolet
Three times today the word “busy” came up as I attempted to have conversations with different people. This prompted me to ponder upon why we are all so busy that we seemingly have no time to stop and take a few minutes for a friendly chat. Thus this poem was written to share my frustrations.
