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.
We have new phrases
To learn, “Shelter in place”,
“Social Distancing”.
Difficult to do.
Hoping old phrases like
“Social Gathering”,
Return very soon
Syllabic Verse
Do not come around
You are not wanted
Flu Bug fly away
I’ve better things to do
Then wasting time with you
Tanka
The flu has a hold on me
Its pushed me into a deep dark place
I am trying to crawl out from
Praying for the Lord’s strenght to help
Syllabic Verse

This day
Cinquain
Cheery !
A Grand-daughter’s smile
Chases away worry,
And brings healing to a weary heart.
It’s better
To bring healing
Than hospital’s prescribed
Daily routine medicine
I think.

According to Dictionary.com one definition of “train” is: the series of results or circumstances following or proceeding from an event, action, etc.; aftermath In my Haiku “A Train of Fire” I seek to raise awareness of the yearly increase of damages to our forests in the Pacific Northwest because of Forest fires. Not only are many acres of trees damaged or lost, wildlife suffer loss of homes and people often do also. Firefighters risk their lives and health while fighting these fires so often uncontainable because of the wind and dry conditions. As Smoky the Bear says “only you can prevent Forest fires”. Please consider and do your part to protect our natural resources.
