At times
We won’t agree,
But let’s not speak harsh words
Which cause anger, choose a soft reply
Instead.

Thoughtful Encouragement
In a busy world
That’s been slowed down by the
Corona Virus
Opportunities exist
To consider one another
Tanka
“and let us consider [thoughtfully] how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds,”
Hebrews 10:24 AMP
Sometimes…
Opportunities
In disquise
Look like obstacles

Some Thoughts on This Last Day of November 2019
Consider…
You can’t go back
And erase the past
You can go forward to create a
future

Next month I have chosen to do a challenge called “Dressember.”
For this challenge I have committed to wear a dress everyday for the month of December in order to raise awareness (and funds) in the campaign against human trafficking and modern slavery.
So some of my poetry next month may reflect on this as I journey thru each day of the challenge.
I will be making daily posts on my personal blog about my journey regarding this challenge as well as posting pics and info about Dressember and the fight against human trafficking and abuse.
If any of you would like to follow me on this journey I invite you to subscribe to my other blog at: Blog | Leona J. Atkinson | Inspirational Writer/Artist
If I Were You
I really don’t know what I’d do
If I were you and you were me
I might celebrate my debut
I really don’t know what I’d do
I might enjoy me being you
But us being reversed is a mystery
I really don’t know what I’d do
If I were you and you were me

#OctPoWriMo Day 12
Word Prompts:
should, might, consider, absolute, discover
Question for Seekers
Seek and ye shall find.
What is it that you search for?
Are you in the right place?
Acorns aren’t found beneath
The branches of Maple trees
Tanka
I was prompted to write this poem today as I happened to see a little gray squirrel searching for food just outside my window. The little guy was actively checking out every flower pot, tree and place in the yard apparently looking for something to fill up his winter pantry. However, the trees in my backyard are only Maple and Evergreen, so he was coming up empty if he was looking for acorns. This caused me to consider what it was I was looking for in life and to ask myself if I was looking for it in the right places. Something we all should stop and think about occasionally
Choose Wisely
“Death and life are in
The power of the tongue”
Consider this daily
Before you unlease words.
Of which do you choose to speak?
Tanka
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Proverbs 18:21

Spoken Words
