A wish
Was unspoken
Hid in a heart broken
Until the day God’s voice made it
Happen
Cinquain

A wish
Was unspoken
Hid in a heart broken
Until the day God’s voice made it

Cinquain

Walking
In paper shoes
Carefully planning
Each step to avoid ruinous puddles
Of life

Floating
But going nowhere
On my river of dreams
It’s only by paddling I move
Forward
Cinquain

Well preserved
At His right hand
Pleasures eternal
Joy filled earthly life path
Is mine
Cinquain
(Poetry based on verses from Psalm 16)
Preserve me, O God:
for in You do I put my trust.
You will show me the path of life:
in Your presence is fulness of joy;
at Your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Suddenly
A flash of blue
On a bleak winter day
Barren berry bush gave him
Away
Cinquain
Today a blue jay visited my yard. I wasn’t quick enough to snap his picture so I had to draw one instead 😊

Broken
But not destroyed
For a new life emerges
A butterfly hidden within
Revealed
Cinquain

Thirteen
My lucky number
That’s the date of my birth
Glad mom wasn’t superstitious
That day
Cinquain
OctPoWriMo Day 29
Theme: By The Numbers
Most people think the number 13 is an unlucky number but since I was born on that day I have had to consider it positively as my parents always thought me to be a blessing to them and weren’t superstitious.
(Besides, I was born on a Tuesday not on a Friday!) 😊

A flip
Decisions, changes
You got heads, I got tails
Things are not as they so seem
I won
Cinquain

Cloud cover
Signs in the sky
We keep looking above
For answers to problems on earth
To come
Cinquain

“Speak softly”
Said Roosevelt
“And carry a big stick”
Passive-Agressive acumen
Old adage
Cinquain
On my walk today I met a gentleman who, in actuality, was walking with a big stick.
As we passed by one another and nodded a greeting, I spoke the quote to him and he smiled. “ Teddy Roosevelt” he said.
“ Oh, I thought it was Snoopy!” I said laughing.
When I got home a Google search proved the stick walker was right!
Guess I got my history lesson for the day!
Plus, a poem inspiration. 😊
