Promise of the Dove 

Posted on by Leonas Lines

Collared Dove
We belong together

You and I walk as one

But should we ever part

I shall wait beneath the tree

In the early morning light

Tanka

This morning as I looked out my patio window I saw one dove just sitting under the big tree. Just sitting, watching, waiting….All summer I had seen and heard two doves, at times they would stroll by my window in the early evening, walking slowly along together. I would hear them cooing in the morning. Now I am seeing only one, sitting quietly, watching, waiting. I worry if it is hurt. I worry if it needs help. I wonder where it’s mate is. Then, after many moments, it suddenly flies away… I am not sure what to make of all of this, but I will choose to think good thoughts and imagine that the dove saw its mate. Blessings everyone! Enjoy this day!

Snow White’s Awakening

Posted on by Leonas Lines


That first look

Into eyes of blue

Quizzical

Admiring

Rescued from a bad dream by

The awakening kiss

Shadorma

(This poem was written in response to a suggestion made by our poetry class instructor. She said to imagine what Snow White felt like when she first opened her eyes after the Prince kissed her.  So…I imagined…and this Shadorma was the result.😊)

The Missing Sock

Posted on by Leonas Lines

The Missing Sock
Rebellion?

A Non-conformist?

Mutany

At its worst?

Not choosing “lost” in the dryer

“Jumps basket” instead

Shadorma

( This poem was inspired because my daughter did some clothes washing at my house yesterday and I thought it quite humorous when I saw this sock laying on the floor after she had picked up her laundry and left.

The reason being was that the little sock had missed going into the laundry basket and she had to pick it up twice to put it in, but then, after she had left, I noticed it was still here–“left behind” on the floor! Seemingly it couldn’t “get lost” in the dryer so it decided to “jump the basket” in an effort to abandon its duties!😊 Just my imagination running wild again, LOL, but it gave me and her a couple laughs!

Hope it does the same for you😊)
