I am Miss Autumn
Dressed in vibrant colors
Creating crisp brisk breezes
Inviting leaves to dance
As maple trees clap
Their red and golden appendages
Beneath cloudy skies
And furry grey squirrels scamper
To gather the oak’s treasures
Choka
Sunset
Feathers on high
Streaks of orange light
Fill the western sky before me
I gasp
Cinquain
Searching the scriptures
Unearthing a nugget of truth
Seek and you shall find
Senryu
I love taking inspired journeys that the Holy Spirit leads me on either when I am alone or with someone else.
When’s the last time you went “digging for gold” within the pages of your bible?
My grandson and I often do that together and it always leads us to some exciting finds and increased knowledge.

Carried by the wind
A seed blown with wishful breath
Gold crown manifests

#NaPoWriMo—Day 17–Prompt:
Today, I’d like you to challenge you to write a poem that similarly presents a scene from an unusual point of view
City sidewalk
Unexpected riches appear
Multitude of gold
Haiku
Weary feet press on
Someday you will walk on gold
New Jerusalem’s street
Senryu
(Based on Revelation 21:21)
Beauty
In the brown and gold
Tears for times
Past when we
Young and verdant without care
Lived the high life
Shadorma
Breathing in so deeply
Scents of seaweed and crisp air
As gulls seranade
And ocean foam caresses
Sand covered toes
Sunset glistens like gold
Shimmering on waves
That meet rocks and waiting cheek
With a salty kiss goodnight
Choka
challenge is to write a poem that includes images that engage all five senses. Try to be as concrete and exact as possible with the “feel” of what the poem invites the reader to see, smell, touch, taste and hear
Blazing gold petals
Magnificent beauty
The face of the sun
Haiku
On the Oregon Trail
Seeking freedom, land, and gold
Immigrants migrate
Haiku
