I’m seeking to live
A life that shows forth joy
In all circumstances
Filled with the Christ’s fragrance
And the fruit of His Spirit
Tanka
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22,23
In the course of life
Checking my moral compass
Choosing the high road
Haiku
Grey skies hover
Over grey buildings
Cold concrete
Grey highways
Lifeless yet full of life
Breathing in its grey air

Picture Perfect
Looking good on the outside
Take a second glance
Senryu
Day becomes night so soon
No sooner than the sun rises
Then there comes the moon
Day becomes night so soon
Quickly morning turns to afternoon
Time never apologizes
Day becomes night so soon
No sooner than the sun rises
Triolet
Wounded hearts
And fractured lives
Full of pain
Full of anger
Broken spirits seeking hope
And a healing touch
Shadorma
Reaching and missing
The brass ring
Never givin’ up

Again and again I cry
Again and again I stay
Again and again I sigh
Again and again I pay
Again and again I try
Again and again I pray
Syllablic Verse
The stones of life
Large or small, can trip you up
Choose your steps with care
Think before you place your foot
Stones are everywhere
Tanka
