The sweet smell of the Honeysuckle
Wafted up, waking my senses,
Lulling me to stop awhile
And drink in the fragrance
Of the tiny white
Blossoms amid
The green leaves
On the
Fence

Waste Not
Abundance ignored
Yet so many go hungry
Fruit pickers needed

Belated Beauty
Celebrating late
National Creamsicle Day
Creamsicle sunset
Haiku
Tonite we had the most beautiful sunset in different shades and layers of orange, peach and cream colors. The camera on my phone just didn’t capture the colors exactly as I saw them because as I looked at it I thought of a Creamsicle which I have always loved to eat!
A quick Google search told me that National Creamsicle Day was on August 14th which was two days ago, but the sky was cloudy then and there wasn’t a sunset, so I guess God decided to celebrate it late and gave us this creamsicle sky tonight! 😊
Lunch
Homemade bread
A fresh tomato sandwich
A link to the past
Senryu
When I was a kid in the 50’s my school lunch, in a brown paper sack, consisted of a tomato sandwich made from mom’s homemade bread and a garden fresh tomato. I still love that combo.
The Word
Soon
The grass
And the flowers
Will fade away
The lovely sounds
Smells and the sights of summer
Will all be gone from us
But the word of our God will stand
Strong, secure and true forever more

Summertime Senses
Slight breeze carries
Smells of suppertime
As summer’s sun sets
Syllabic Verse
Presidental Proverb
“Speak softly”
Said Roosevelt
“And carry a big stick”
Passive-Agressive acumen
Old adage
Cinquain
On my walk today I met a gentleman who, in actuality, was walking with a big stick.
As we passed by one another and nodded a greeting, I spoke the quote to him and he smiled. “ Teddy Roosevelt” he said.
“ Oh, I thought it was Snoopy!” I said laughing.
When I got home a Google search proved the stick walker was right!
Guess I got my history lesson for the day!
Plus, a poem inspiration. 😊
Floral Abundance
Summertime scents
A feast for the the senses
Bushels of color
Haiku
While on a walk this evening I saw this beautiful amazing yard filled with flowers everywhere! It was just bursting with color and fragrance. I had to stop and snap a pic of one of the “bushels” of flowers.

As my prayers ascend
To Him who is on high
Blessings come down
Covering my path
Like falling leaves
