Thinking
Of all women
In the recent past times
Whose feet tread upon injustice
An stood
Some silent, but unwavering
Strong upon their beliefs
Of equal rights
For all

Weary feet press on
Someday you will walk on gold
New Jerusalem’s street
Senryu
(Based on Revelation 21:21)
Questioning my purpose
Walking everyday
And yet I’m going nowhere
On the treadmill of life
Need to stop and get off
That sad revolving belt
Get out in the real world
Find new paths to walk on
New voices to listen
To, and new faces to see
Realize I’m in control
Of where my feet step
I need to choose wisely
And plan future paths
Syllabic Verse
Looking for a change?
It all begins with with you
Renewing your mind.
It takes a decision
In order for things to change.
Tanka
Walking down the street
Daffodils strewn all about
Flowers at my feet

Today as I was walking downtown in search of a restaurant, my eyes beheld a strange sight. I was passing by an old abandoned theatre and there, in the entrance way were scattered 5 fresh, bright golden daffodils, just waiting for a leading lady to pick up. How fortuitous for me!
One letter in front of another
One foot in front of another
Words are like walking
Carefully chosen
They move us forward
Or hold us back
Like feet
Often
Do

Today feet
Got royal treatment
Were massaged
And pampered
They’ve been thru a lot, but
Rewarded today

Thankful to be back walking around on these feet again. It has been 2-1/2 months since my hip surgery and I am doing well. Today was a special treat for my feet and toes. They deserved it! They have done a lot for me over the years! 😊
