Worrying thoughts creep
Disturbing sleep
Fears rise steep
Calm hard to keep
Doubts start to heap
But faith runs deep
Causing joy to leap
Courage to seep
And victory does reap

Fly Away from Fear
Fly above the waters of doubt
Don’t let them drown and destroy your dreams
Don’t let your fears hold you down
Soar to the brights skies beyond
Keep looking ahead
Gather your strength
Never give
Fear a
Chance
Nonet
“Homeless—Single Mom”
Two little girls cry out in the night
“Mommy!” they say to no one in sight
A blanket of fear holds them tight
As strangers tell them “It’ll be alright”
Sitting on concrete at the light
Her youthful trembling hands of white
Hold up a sign stating her plight
Holding back tears with all her might
Twin girl’s Mom won’t give up the fight
To make their future bright

10 lines—each line 8 syllables—Rhyme
For the creative writing class I am currently taking I tried to rewrite my original Tanka written on September 4, 2019, into a 10 line poem using the line “sitting on concrete” while also using parts of the lines “thin white hands” and “two little girls” in some way.
This poem is what I came up with after quite some deliberation.
New Year Goals
Reaching for the stars
Running towards New Year dreams
Jumping over fears.

YESTERDAYS
Years, Tears, and Fears
Evaporated and gone.
Seasons and Reasons in
Time have passed on.
Each moment now spent
Reliving them is pointless.
Days of old are done,
All just memories of the Past.
Yearning won’t bring them back.
Seek today and live!
Acrostic
Forward into the Future
I go
Dreaming
Seeking
Future
Visions
My feet
Stepping
Upon
My fears
Syllabic Verse
Security
Looking for a place to run and hide.
Health problems falling like Fall leaves
Upon my foundation of faith.
Above me threatening
Fears loom like dark clouds,
And Doubts circle around,
Causing a chill,
Til I hear
My Lord
Speak.
Reverse Etheree
He says in Psalm 32:7 that:
- He is my Hiding Place.
- He will protect me from trouble
- He will surround me and shout for my deliverance
Tear Bottle
Teardrops
Fell over the years
Many tears, many fears
Yet He captured every one
God’s Love
Cinquain
You keep track of all my sorrows You have collected all my tears in your bottle You have recorded each one in your book. Psalm 56:8 NLT
RISE
A Time of Release
As the trees shed their leaves, let us also shed our anxieties, fears, grudges, or any negative thoughts
that might be keeping us from moving forward into a new season.
