Sunshine ends the day!
February’s grand finale!
March winds blowing in,
Bringing the promise of Spring,
To the weary winter worn earth.

Wisdom
And Adventure
Sit upon my shelves
Pages of words waiting to be read
By me
Each day
Stories and poems enrich my days
Emotionally filling
My heart and soul
With joy

Rain
Falling
Forms patterns
On my windshield
Droplet diamonds
Dotted aqua circles
Spheres creating a maze on glass
Misty pearl like aqueous scene
Continually changing liquid web
Instantly swept away as wipers do their job

Longer Days
Two weeks!
Just fourteen days!
The time change will be here!
My clocks hands will then “Spring Ahead”
One hour!

Refused
Released
Replaced by another
Rejected and let go
Returned to society’s mainstream

Holiday

Dismal thoughts vanish
A bright February day
Christmas cactus blooms

In My Youth
I once knew a girl
That wore a grey poodle skirt
Over pink crinoline
She danced in her saddle shoes
Never thinking she would grow old

Poetry
Original Photograph by Leona J. Atkinson
Writing poems makes each day different
Often they bring bewilderment
Or joy to a humdrum day
Their creation is my pay
As thoughts take on form
Not always norm
They excite
Ignite

Junk to Jewels
Someone’s castaways
The world’s used and discarded goods
Become my treasures
Recycled into a new life
Of purpose and beauty

RAK Day Everyday
Random
Acts of kindness
Spontaneously given
Will enrich the world we live in
Each day
Why wait
For just one day
To randomly do kind deeds
Practicing random kindness daily
Is best
