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
Just one among many
A bright bloom
Shines
Tilus
Wonder if your pen could change a life?
Wonder if you used it to:
Stand up for a worthy cause,
Scribe encouraging words,
Sign to Volunteer,
Endorse a check,
Craft a poem,
Story,
Write!
Nonet
Candle burning bright
A symbol of hope
Extinqishes night
Candle burning bright
Overcomes fright
Reveals ways to cope
Candle burning bright
A symbol of hope
5 Syllable Triolet
In a hard place.
Life is full of rocks.
Trying to dig.
Determined.
Seek to make a difference.
A “Hard Row to Hoe”.
Not giving
This “Hard Row to Hoe”
Victory.
I will win!
I will not ever give up!
I will overcome!
Double Shadorma
Scarlet leaf,
Such vibrant color,
Lay silently
In my path,
Soon to be one among many
Detached from life,
Unless help comes…
A helping hand reaches
And picks up
Broken dreams,
Offering to be the glue
That restores life.
Double Shadorma

Whether you are working in retail, or a customer shopping, when you share a smile or laugh it can really make someone’s day. Try to make it a point to give a smile or kind word during this busy Holiday season when a lot of people are over worked, rushing, or stressed out. It will help them and you. 🙂
