Among strangers
In line together
Mumbling
Grumbling
Shuffling feet in weariness
I stood behind you
As you spoke
A breath of fresh air
Uplifted
Awakened
My senses, because your words changed
The whole atmosphere.
Words full of
Positivity,
Thankfulness,
Permeated
And turned strangers into
Lively comrades
Triple Shadorma
Tearful eyes speaking
“Goodbye my Camellia
Fairest flower of red.
Before us you were wisked
Away by a thief,
A mischievious marauder
Living in a tree
Near your fragrant scarlet blooms.
His greed became your demise.”
Choka
I just saw that pesky gray Squirrel who is a frequent visitor to my yard snatch a beautiful red blossom off my new Camilla plant I just bought!
As I watched, frozen in horror, he scurried up the tree to sit on a branch munching on it for his mid morning snack.
Sitting in its corner
Words come alive, thoughts flow free
Creativity couch

Patio passing

When I read your word
I thought, and I turned my feet.
I made haste
To try to obey your commandments,
And walk in your ways each day.
Tanka
“I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.”
Psalms 119:59-60 KJV
Live your dreams
Whatever they may be
Go forward
Believing
In yourself and in your goals
And never give up
Shadorma
Call out someone or thing
Hang in until your heard
Assert yourself
Leave out rudeness
Leave out negativity
Examine all sides
Now go forward
Goad your beliefs
Engage in action

Dear Gray Squirrel,
Tell me, what are you looking for!
The bird food you do deplete,
Yet you keep passing by my door,
Is your search never complete?
Your manners I do deplore!
Always looking for a tasty treat!
You’ve had that, yet look for more!
Your greed knows no defeat!
Rhyme
This poem was inspired by the gray squirrel that lives in a tree in my backyard who seems to never get full nor tired. He is always eating or searching. He is cute but can really be a pest at times! 😊
The Sprouts of Spring, what joy they bring!
