Life
Is short
Waste not.
Time is precious
Record memories.
Capture each moment
But dont dwell there, move on.
Fixate your mind on the future.
Wake every morning and proclaim:
“The Past has no Present in my Future”
Etheree
Thanks to my daughter, Laura, for the last line which inspired me to write this poem.
The final long walk
Twas twelve years in the making
Pomp and circumstance
Senryu
A step
Taken today
In the right direction
Of life’s future journey
Wise choice
Cinquain
They will look at my home
And laugh at its Vintage style
Yet no matter where I roam
I will think of my place and smile
Its not a mansion with a dome
Nor a castle on an isle
But I look at my home
And love it’s Vintage style
Rhyme
Want to try?
But can’t comply.
Left to cry?
Wonder why?
Ask on High
What will be
Can’t forsee
Tis only He
With the key
Not me or thee
Mini-Monoverse
Stand firm
In the Present.
The Past laps at your heels,
Dont let it creep in and spoil the
Future.
Cinquain
Enjoy the present
Pay tribute to the past
Embrace the new
Senryu
Mural “Theatrical Heartscape” in Salem, OR.
Learning from the Past,
Planning for the Future,
While the present I hold fast.
Learning from the Past,
Tis no easy task,
But I’m determined to endure.
Learning from the Past,
Planning for the Future.
Triolet
Dawning bright,
Another new month!
Exciting!
Promising
New adventures in life!
Let’s open it’s doors!
Shadorma
A speech, a promise
Strong words spoken now go forth
Seeds for fallow ground
