Gathering
My mind
Always open
As I go about my day
To gather information for
Sharing
With others
Sifting out the negative it
Stores tidbits to encourage
Help and inspire
Your day

It is my goal and hope that I can do this daily, and that is why I write poetry and create art.
Thank you for following my blog.
I hope my daily posts accomplish my goal and that in some way you are uplifted them.
Kenickie,
“Hope your day’s
Peachy keen,
Jelly Bean!”
From, Rizzo.
Syllabic Verse
A bit of humor here today as I am remembering the 50’s and a favorite saying of that time ” peachy keen jelly bean” which was also a line in one of my favorite movies, “Grease”. As I was creating this peach collage today for an Instagram challenge I am participating in, I was reminded of this saying which brought me a smile, so I thought I would share it with all of you. 🙂
Leaping
Into this year.
Marching forward each day.
Never look backward, not going
That way
Cinquain
Today,
An extra day,
What shall I do with it?
Making a special memory
To look
Back on
If I am blessed to be alive
Four years from now, if not,
Then it’s for my
Family.

Just one
Fish in the sea
Of all humanity
Swimming towards eternity?
You matter!

I seem to be obsessed
By all the colors of Spring
Bee in my bonnet
I can be found snapping pics
In random neighbor’s yards

Today it was so nice out again I just had to take a walk down the block to check out all the neighborhood yards to see how much Spring growth had appeared.
Well I was pleasantly rewarded as one neighbor had an abundance of vibrant
crocus blooming. The bees and I were happy and one even paused for a pic😊
The wind around me rages
March is practicing
For her arrival
Tree branches swaying
Weaker ones hurl
As if in protest
To being awakened
From a winter’s sleep
Syllabic Verse
A spring in my step
On pink and white pathways
Cherry blossom time
Haiku
My daughter’s cherry tree was in full bloom today! So pretty! So uplifting to see!
Enjoying the new life
Springing up all around me
Singing and dancing
With the birds and daffodils
Shaking off winter doldrums
Tanka
Green shoots popping up,
Patches of yellow abound,
Spring has come again!
Haiku
I felt like Chicken Little today as everywhere I went I kept saying “ Spring is here! Spring is here!”
It may not say Spring yet on the calendar but it was very present all around my area today.
I was seeing patches of yellow daffodils in my neighbors yards and green shoots of more to come soon, hearing birds singing and lawnmowers humming, smelling fresh cut grass and enjoying the bright sunshine! What a delightful change from the damp, dark, cold days of winter!
Yes, Spring weather is here and I am enjoying every moment of it!
