Maybe this will be the month
All restrictions will be lifted
Yearning for the “old normal” to return

April 2020
April’s thirty days
Filled with uncertainty
Are history
Senryu
Goodbye April 2020. You can claim you were the first full month of the pandemic.
The New Normal
Talking with my neighbor,
Keeping our 6 foot distance,
Our words floating through the air
Land upon others ears
Across the courtyard.
Soon a 6 foot convention
Gathers. “The new normal.”
Syllabic Verse
Someday Soon
Dreaming
Of someday
Of brighter tomorrows
In rooms smelling of hyacinths
Surrounded
By sounds
Of angelic host singing sweetly
Around heaven’s great throne
Filled with light
From Him
Butterfly Cinquain
The April Days Speak
The days
Ramble on
Speaking
Nothing
Diverse
Until a
Goldfinch
Visits
Bringing
Color
And a
Glimpse
Of joy
Suddenly
The days
Become
Alive
With hope
Speaking
New life
Will soon
Arrive
Syllabic Verse
Morning Sighting
Five Golden Finches
Frequenting the green birdbath
Flashy visitors
Haiku
“Different”
“Get used
To different”
As we follow Jesus
In a world of conformity
We see
How to
Be different
Our old ways will leave us
As we begin to walk new paths
With Him

If you have watched the new movie “The Chosen” you will be familiar with the phrase “Get Used To Different”.
If not, I invite you to watch it
and in Season 1-Episode 7 you will hear this phrase spoken.

Oregon’s Evergreens – Arbor Day 2020
Stately they stand
Strong branches holding new life
Sheltered from storms
As wind and rain beat
Steadily upon their mossy boughs
Stately they stand
Green giants waving
Strong branches holding new life
All across our land
Some are chosen
As lumber to keep people
Sheltered from storms

“To exist as a nation, to prosper as a state, and to live as a people, we must have trees.” — President Theodore Roosevelt.
“Other holidays repose upon the past; Arbor Day proposes for the future.”

Evades every evil equally
Opts out of oral offenses
Needs niceness, no negativity
Adventurous, amicable, appreciative
NaPoWriMo Day 23 Prompt: write a poem about a particular letter of the alphabet
For today’s prompt I kind of adjusted it a bit and chose to use more than one letter so to fit into an Acrostic form and used my own name to fit my characteristics (as I see them to be) describing the words of each letter.
And….since I have an artistic side I was led to create the poem into a personalized alphabet art acrostic name wall hanging using some of my various original alphabet art images.
Earth Day 2020
I looked
Around the earth
The trees were doing fine
As they whispered to the wind
Waving
Welcome
To the sunshine
That Spring had provided
Even though virus threatened their
People
I looked
Around the earth
The birds were doing fine
As they sang sweetly in the garden
Greeting
Morning
Cheerfully as
If the virus didn’t
Exist among many of the earth’s
People
I looked
Around the earh
The flowers grew and bloomed
Dressed in glorious colors
Earth’s fine
