Unique,
Trying to grow tall,
Feeling you don’t fit in
With all those who surround you.
Listen!
Listen!
Don’t you dare give up trying!
Look up, reach for the sky!
You do have a
Purpose.

Everyday Life
While the world is falling apart
My neighbors and I are building
Relationships, gardens, and ideas
In our little corner of the world
We are making the most of each day
That we have to build friendships and
Create beauty while we can
No not burying our heads in the sand
But focusing on the positive
And ignoring negativity
We live sensibly in unity
Praying, trusting in theLord and doing good
Syllabic Verse
Flu
Some words we like
Others not so much
These days it’s true
There’s one word
No one wants to hear
“CoronaVirus”
We can’t stop our ears
From hearing it’s sound
Or close our eyes
To block it from sight
But we can focus
Our minds to not dwell
On this dismal word
We can use prayer
To ask for our God’s help
And for His wisdom
And strength at this time
Syllabic Verse
Praying this word is soon no longer part of our vocabulary.
Walking Circumspectly
Walking thru my day
Avoiding worry puddles
Watching where I walk
Stepping over the pitfalls
Of the fear induced cracks
Tanka
Focal Point
Choosing to focus
On the daffodils dancing
Instead of the News
Senryu
Focus on Now
The past,
And the future.
The two thieves of our thoughts,
That rob today of its potential
For good.
Cinquain
Thoughts
Randomly in my head
Thoughts abounding
Think on these things
God’s word reminds me
I take thoughts
Captive in my head
Double Syllable Lune
Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8
Abstract or Reality?
What do you see
As you walk through this life?
Reality?
Abstraction?
What are you focused on?
As you walk through this life?
Shadorma
Focal Point
What do you see?,
The sun shining bright
Glorious
Flecks of gold,
Streaks of light streaming downward,
Or darkness creeping?

When…
Worries appear like
Cloud, upon cloud, upon cloud
Threatening your day
Shift the view by looking up
Focus on blue sky above
Tanka
As the clouds move on and pass away, so will your troubles. Therefore, do not worry, but shift your focus to look to God above who is in control of all things.
(While out shopping today I happened to look up at the sky, as I often do because I always enjoy seeing the many different beautiful clouds Oregon has,and seeing this scalloped cloud formation today intrigued me.
As I gazed at it this poem formed in my mind that I felt I should share as it’s always a good reminder to me, as well as others, that we should not worry. )
