“No more rain Lord”
A wet flooded Houston crys
“Rain Lord, we need rain ”
Oregonians praying
Wildfires raging
And flood waters displacing
Elements ignore
Our Nation is on its knees
May God’s mercy be upon us
Choka
Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. Psalm 33:22
Mama bird teaching
Baby birds the art of flying
Just “a piece of cake”

Haiku Horizons Weekly Challenge Week#184 Prompt: Cake
( The saying “a piece of cake” means something that’s simple to accomplish. )
Wildfires, Flooding
Displacing many from homes
Natural disasters
Elements out of control
Need divine intervention
Tanka
School days enter causing the
Exit of Summer fun days
Pupils moan
Teachers groan
Each must return to work
Mom’s smile and sigh
Buses awaken for daily runs
Everyone checks their schedules
Rushing replaces resting
Acrostic
A spirit of hope,
Leads to a door of the future.
Prosperity waits,
In accordance with Him,
And His plans for me.
His word declares it so.
I sall not be harmed,
For His plans are for good,
For me forever and ever.
Choka
Based on Jeremiah 29:11

In the forest green
Silky circle of lace is seen
Picking it I glean
A feeling that’s so serene
Suddenly I’m queen
Filled with wishes umpteen
A magical scene
Filled will sunshine sheen
Parachuting seeds careen
Choka-Rhyme
Days fly by
Like birds on wing
Flutter, gone
Syllable Lune
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”

In the starry night

Syllable Lune
Gathering supplies
Squirrel prepares for winter
Safe surroundings
